Wes Anderson's beloved films announce themselves through a singular aesthetic - one that seems too vivid, unique, and meticulously constructed to possibly be real. Not so - in Accidentally Wes Anderson, Wally Koval collects the world's most Anderson-like sites in all their faded grandeur and pop-pastel colours, telling the story behind each stranger than-fiction-location. Based on the viral online phenomenon and community of the same name, Accidentally Wes Anderson celebrates the unique aesthetic that millions of Anderson fans love - capturing the symmetrical, the atypical, the unexpected, the vibrantly patterned, and distinctively coloured in arresting photographs from around the world. Authorised by Wes Anderson himself, and appealing to the millions who love his films, this book is also for fans of Cabin Porn and Van Life - and avid travellers and aspiring adventurers of all kinds.

Beatrix Potter meets Kunio Yanagita in this delightful collection of modern fairy tales, says Charlotte Eubanks. Like J.K. Rowling or Rick Riordan, Naoko Awa writes timeless tales that will resonate with readers of all ages. Awa was influenced by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and The Arabian Nights, but her take is lyrically Japanese. Toshiya Kamei's lovely translation brings Awa into English for the first time.
