A limited edition of 3,000 copies of "The World of Wes Anderson: Fantastic Mr. Fox," a making-of book for the stop-motion animation "Fantastic Mr. Fox," will be available for purchase starting November 13th.

Released in 2009, "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is an animated film adapted from Roald Dahl's children's novel "Fantastic Mr. Fox." The film depicts the struggle between foxes and the humans who hunt them, with puppet voice actors including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Jason Schwartzman. The film is directed by Wes Anderson, who won four Academy Awards in 2014 for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and whose collaboration with director Peter Bogdanovich, "My Funny Lady," will be released in December.

The book, supervised by the director himself, allows readers to immerse themselves in the miniature world that was created with meticulous attention to detail. Not only will the behind-the-scenes footage be made public, but cast interviews, puppet designs and costume plans, Wes's own sketches, and email exchanges with the staff will also be made public.
