Accidentally Wes Anderson: Adventures
Adventure awaits in this new visual odyssey from Accidentally Wes Anderson, taking readers on stunning trips to every continent and sharing oddly moving human tales along the way.

For lovers of travel, design, and exploration, AWA presents a brand-new collection of real-world places that seem plucked from the films of Wes Anderson, and the stories that bring each location to life.

You'll venture to Antarctica through the treacherous Drake Passage, make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where platypuses outnumber people), discover the bridge in Wisconsin that went to nowhere, and drop into the most peculiar umbrella shop in London.

But adventure means nothing without someone to tell the tale.

You'll meet the father of American skydiving, who created the officially-sanctioned center of Earth-a California town with a population of two. You'll visit the “post office at the end of the world”-and meet its mustachioed letter carrier, who runs an anarchist island nation in his free time. And you'll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are prohibited, humans may not be buried, and doomsday vaults hold all we need to survive an apocalypse-including the secret recipe for the Oreo cookie.

Authorized by the legendary filmmaker himself, Accidentally Wes Anderson Adventures reminds us that the world is ours to explore.

Publishers Weekly

The Kovals follow up Accidentally Wes Anderson with another eye-catching compilation of oddball travel destinations that bring to mind the film director’s aesthetic. Sifting through more than 50,000 submissions from members of the Accidentally Wes Anderson online travel community, the Kovals showcase sites on every continent, including Colebrookdale Railroad in Boyertown, Pa., a formerly abandoned train line refurbished in 2014 in a style best described as Industrial-era “pioneer chic”; the wood-paneled Fragata yacht, which ferries passengers to the Galapagos islands; Vermont’s Museum of Everyday Life and its displays of mirrors, toothbrushes, mugs, and other knickknacks; and even the world’s biggest collection of pencils on Granja Arenas, a farm and museum in Colonia, Uruguay. While the book never spells out what makes a destination Anderson-esque (though quaint, whimsical, and brightly colored are common characteristics), the brief histories are irresistibly charming, and the color-saturated photos captivate. Readers will be glad they took the trip. (Oct.)
