What to expect

*EXCLUSIVE FOREWORD BY WES ANDERSON*

Accidentally Wes Anderson is back with 200 brand new, mind-bendingly beautiful destinations for your bucket list, and the fascinating stories behind each location.

· You'll visit the 'post office at the end of the world' in Tierra del Fuego - and meet the mustachioed letter carrier who, in his free time, runs an anarchist island micronation called Redonda.
· You'll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are not allowed, humans cannot be buried, and a primary attraction is a doomsday vault containing the recipe for the Oreo cookie.
· And you might just make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where there are more platypuses than people).

Full of incredible photos of real-life locations that look plucked from the world of Wes Anderson, this book is all about Adventures big and small, everyday and extraordinary, here and way over there. You'll meet some out-of-this-world characters and be left with travel, design and architectural inspiration beyond your imagination. No passport necessary!

Critics Review

The Instagram trend you didn't know you needed . . . Art may imitate life, but as evidenced by the thousands of people designating their photos #AccidentalWesAnderson, perhaps the opposite is also true.
Vogue
Pastel colors, front-on facades, hyper-stylized uncanny symmetry: director Wes Anderson has a defined aesthetic. Once you've got your eye in, you can see it anywhere . . . [Koval's] account, @AccidentallyWesAnderson, has found favour with an 'engaged group of explorers with a keen eye,' who send him thousands of submissions every week.
Guardian
The subreddit of images from real places reminiscent of the filmmaker's sets and style is brilliant.
Architectural Digest
Legions of fans are scouting for locations around the world that evoke the 48 year-old director's trademark twee aesthetic . . . Color, symmetry, and absurdity are the defining elements of his aesthetic.
