The Collector's Edition includes a hardcover edition of Searching for Sebald inside a black silk clamshell box with an image of a labyrinth and ICI embossed on the spine. Also inside, a drawer holds study documents and a researcher's tools including: a magnifying glass, a stereoviwer, sample pages from one of Sebald's texts, stereocards designed from the images in Sebald's A Natural History of Destruction, a volvelle-style index, a study page drawn from Arturo Ott's photo albums, and Christel Dillbohner's Itinerary for a walking tour through East Anglia.
