The Numbered edition of 250 copies is a full goatskin binding with leather onlays and gold foil blocking.

Head & tail bands are handmade with leather and the endsheets are Hahnemühle Bugra.

>p>Each copy is bound by hand and housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Coloretta cloth; a finely woven, two-toned cover material with a subtle, yet distinctive color gradient effect, and velour lined floors. The spine includes a leather foil blocked label. This state is printed letterpress on Mohawk Via Vellum paper and is signed by Iva Troj & Laura Varnam.

A young woman working as a lady's maid in Monte Carlo is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives—presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave. Rebecca, the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her own identity, continues to cast its sinister spell on readers over 85 years later.
