"The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick Hardcover, First Edition, Illustrated, March, 2007

Paris in the 1930's, a thief, a broken machine, a strange girl, a mean old man, and the secrets that tie them all together.

Here is a quote from Author Brian Selznick - My new book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, is a 550 page novel in words and pictures. But unlike most novels, the images in my new book don't just illustrate the story; they help tell it. I've used the lessons I learned from Remy Charlip and other masters of the picture book to create something that is not a exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel, or a flip book or a movie, but a combination of all these things.

The original dust jacket is in “as new” condition. This book appears to be unused, unread, and clean. Please see a small tear in the top edge and tears to one page. The photo shows the damage.
