Armchair Adventure at its finest! (A great gift, too)

I have been a fan of the @accidentallywesanderson Instagram account for a few years, so when I learned a book was in the works I ordered a few copies as gifts for the design-lovers in my life. The books have started to arrive (along with my own copy) and it knocked my socks off! I knew that the images that "made the cut" would be stellar. What surprised me was the insightful, witty text that accompanies each photo. INCREDIBLE. The stories are well-researched and much more in-depth than what is on the daily Instagram account. It's wayyyy more than a "pretty coffee table book", though it is that too :) This is the best gift under $50, hands down. I'll be exploring and coming back to this one regularly. I still have 6 more sections to read and I'm enthralled. Kudos to everyone involved. P.S. I am updating this review after seeing a mention about losing images in the middle of the binding. I disagree that this is a problem. This book has special lay-flat binding. You just need to... open the book the full way ;) Added some photos of 2-page spreads so you can see.

So charming but so flawed

I’m a big Wes Anderson fan, and this book is a joyful tribute to his distinctive style with the frontal perspective, color palette, rigorous symmetry and nostalgic subjects. The photographs would be easy to appreciate even if you aren’t familiar with the director’s vision. My disappointment is that too many of these pictures are ruined by running them as two page spreads. This book is a fairly thick volume and symmetrical composition of so many of the photographs leave the center of the pictures lost in the gutter, effectively destroying those images. It’s so sad that these spreads ruin great pictures with bad page design.

Stunning captures by real travelers, perfect ode to Wes Anderson.

This book is so beautiful! I was curious about what the quality of the printing would be like, wondering how the images would translate from what we are used to seeing on the Instagram page, but everything about this book is practically perfect. In this digital age, there is still something to be said about seeing full color pictures on paper- wow!!! The write ups on each destination are intriguing, but the pictures are STUNNING. I was so excited I couldn't stop myself from flipping through every page as soon as I got it, so I could see all the pictures. I can't wait to go back and read about each one. This book is giving me a serious case of wanderlust. If you follow this page on Instagram, love travel or photography, this book is a must have.

Great book for discovering the “trees in the forest.”

This is a great book for those who love to explore the strange and exotic “little things” often buried within the “big things.” Each page contains a unique place that, at first glance, you might say oh I’ve been there...but have you really??? In some ways it is similar Atlas Obscura, but just more micro level things/places of interest.

Bought it for the photography, keeping it for the content.

Exceeded expectations! I learn something new on each page, my son was particularly taken with a picture of an 1800’s grand opera house, and actually stuck around to hear me read him about it’s history! I also really like how they have the pictures sectioned out by region, makes for easy referencing and a great way to explore the world via the book. Well done Mr. Koval!

You need this book!

Some of the most stunning photographs all in one book. I pre ordered this months ago and am so excited to finally have it. The stories behind each image are a delightful touch. This is a gorgeous conversation starter and makes me happy sitting on my table

The Perfect Balance of Eye Candy and Information

I pre-ordered this book after finding Accidentally Wes Anderson on Instagram. This is chock-full of beautiful pictures, but there is also plenty to read with information about these locations. Since I'm buying this during the pandemic, I can't travel to these places in real life. But this gives me a lot of ideas about places that I would love to visit someday. I am really happy that I bought this for myself, because it's going to be a great coffee table books whenever guests are allowed to come back over again. This is a must-buy as a gift for anyone in your life who loves Wes Anderson. Whether they know about this artist or not, they will totally appreciate the aesthetic.

Accidentally Wes Anderson Rocks!

This book surpassed my expectations. The presentation is one of a kind. Grab a copy for you and a friend. The research and photographs are amazing.

Extreme Eye Candy!

This book is extreme eye candy!!! I love it! If you are a fan of Wes Anderson or beautiful photography you will not be disappointed! I’m already thinking of who I’m going to send this to for Christmas 😊 The only criticism I can think of is that a larger format would be even nicer. But don’t let that stop you it’s a beauty👍

Great Book!

The Accidentally Wes Anderson Book is curation of tremendous photography, detailed historical text and vibrant composition that will spark instant joy. Divided within by photographs that follow the stylings of Wes Anderson and the continents they reside in, you are transported around the world from the comfort of your reading nook. Mine will sit open on the coffee table, as the photos inside are just as striking as the facade itself. I already have another copy heading my way to give as a gift. Accidentally Wes Anderson The Boo exceeded my expectations for sure!

Beautiful Book

What a great way to escape with lovely pictures from around the world. The collaborators did an amazing job here, and I'm really enjoying the trip. My only minor gripe is that the pages seem a little weak, and I worry about damaging them, just from turning. But you know how it is... nothing gold can stay.

Take a trip around the world from your favorite chair.

I have been following @accidentlywesanderson on Instagram since it began and was amazed how rapidly the number of followers increased in a short period of time. As the posts increased, I found myself spending hours looking at all of the amazing pictures. I was happy to hear that a book was in the works......with Wes Anderson’s blessing to boot.......I pre-ordered the book and anxiously awaited it’s arrival. I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THIS BOOK !!!!!! The pictures are incredible and the stories about them are well written. I’m now planning my post COVID-19 vacations based on the locations in this book.

Surpasses expectations, it’s a big book!

The book is better than expected. Incredibly well researched and the photos are Amazingly Wes Anderson! It’s also a handy travel guide. I don’t know if I should leave the book open, closed, or half way!

Stunning Work

I received my book and fell immediately & hopelessly in love! I am a huge fan of Wes Anderson, but truly one wouldn't need to be to enjoy the beauty of these photos. Wally Koval has compiled a collection of stunning photographs, from so many talented artists, showcasing some of the loveliest and quirkiest locations across the globe. I also find myself really enjoying the insets and travel guide-esque info on each location as it provides additional context that adds so much to the photo. Paging thru this book, I have enjoyed every part ... it has brought me a lot of joy and I will absolutely cherish it for years to come. Thank you to all the accidental Wes Anderson's out there - may your vista always be beautiful and your cameras always be at the ready!

Definitely a MUST HAVE!

This book is a MUST HAVE! This book is the most beautiful book I have seen in years and is now my new favorite book in the house. The pages are filled with beautiful pictures and interesting facts about places all around the world. This book truly captures the beautiful aesthetics that have become synonymous with the renowned director Wes Anderson. I am a big fan of @accidentallywesanderson and truly impressed with what they were able to produce. I cannot wait to show all of my friends this beautiful book!

Great Photos, Great Stories, Great People

What an awesome read! It’s a great balance of well-researched information and beautiful pictures. Everything is organized by geography, and I think it’s nicely split with how much focus in devoted to each section of the world. It’s really easy for big Instagram accounts and influences to churn out quick, easy merch that sells well but has little substance — this is the exact opposite. It’s clear how much time, thought, and care that Wally and Amanda put into creating a solid product that honors their brand, honors the stories and places featured, and honors the photographers that have contributed their work. It really is the perfect holiday gift, perfect quarantine read, and perfect contribution to your coffee table/home library collection — and at a wildly low price!

BRB - buying a new coffee table JUST FOR THIS BOOK!!

Wow! So impressed by the quality and presentation of this book. It is such a joy seeing photos on the @accidentallywesanderson insta page but there is a different kind of charm about holding a concrete piece of AWA in your hands and leisurely browsing each page in the comfort of your home. Just received this book yesterday and I think my favorite page has changed 10 times already. Mind blowing that these beautiful places exist and so cool that we can enjoy a piece of each in our living rooms. Get this book, NOW!

THIS IS THE BOOK THE WORLD NEEDED IN A PANDEMIC.

A MASTER PIECE. I could not stop turning the pages. The paper alone is wonderful & the images are mind blowing ... Everytime I open Accidentally Wes Anderson, I am feel like I traveling the world. THIS IS THE BOOK THE WORLD NEEDED IN A PANDEMIC. well well done.

Aesthetically pleasing pictures with a side of history

What a beautifully crafted book! The photos are so vivid, stunning and charming. I love flipping through the pages and reading the story of each image. It’s as if you are immediately transported to that place and a personal AWA guide is there explaining the history! If you are a fan of aesthetically pleasing pictures with a side of history, I highly suggest that you buy this book and follow the account @AccidentallyWesAnderson

Will not disappoint!

Just like the @accidentallywesanderson IG feed, Wally’s book comes across as a thoughtfully assembled collection. The photography is striking and commentary is both light yet insightful. I totally love it and intend on buying more copies as gifts.

Armchair Adventure at its finest! (A great gift, too)

I have been a fan of the @accidentallywesanderson Instagram account for a few years, so when I learned a book was in the works I ordered a few copies as gifts for the design-lovers in my life. The books have started to arrive (along with my own copy) and it knocked my socks off! I knew that the images that "made the cut" would be stellar. What surprised me was the insightful, witty text that accompanies each photo. INCREDIBLE. The stories are well-researched and much more in-depth than what is on the daily Instagram account. It's wayyyy more than a "pretty coffee table book", though it is that too :) This is the best gift under $50, hands down. I'll be exploring and coming back to this one regularly. I still have 6 more sections to read and I'm enthralled. Kudos to everyone involved. P.S. I am updating this review after seeing a mention about losing images in the middle of the binding. I disagree that this is a problem. This book has special lay-flat binding. You just need to... open the book the full way ;) Added some photos of 2-page spreads so you can see.

So charming but so flawed

I’m a big Wes Anderson fan, and this book is a joyful tribute to his distinctive style with the frontal perspective, color palette, rigorous symmetry and nostalgic subjects. The photographs would be easy to appreciate even if you aren’t familiar with the director’s vision. My disappointment is that too many of these pictures are ruined by running them as two page spreads. This book is a fairly thick volume and symmetrical composition of so many of the photographs leave the center of the pictures lost in the gutter, effectively destroying those images. It’s so sad that these spreads ruin great pictures with bad page design.

Stunning captures by real travelers, perfect ode to Wes Anderson.

This book is so beautiful! I was curious about what the quality of the printing would be like, wondering how the images would translate from what we are used to seeing on the Instagram page, but everything about this book is practically perfect. In this digital age, there is still something to be said about seeing full color pictures on paper- wow!!! The write ups on each destination are intriguing, but the pictures are STUNNING. I was so excited I couldn't stop myself from flipping through every page as soon as I got it, so I could see all the pictures. I can't wait to go back and read about each one. This book is giving me a serious case of wanderlust. If you follow this page on Instagram, love travel or photography, this book is a must have.

Great book for discovering the “trees in the forest.”

This is a great book for those who love to explore the strange and exotic “little things” often buried within the “big things.” Each page contains a unique place that, at first glance, you might say oh I’ve been there...but have you really??? In some ways it is similar Atlas Obscura, but just more micro level things/places of interest.

Bought it for the photography, keeping it for the content.

Exceeded expectations! I learn something new on each page, my son was particularly taken with a picture of an 1800’s grand opera house, and actually stuck around to hear me read him about it’s history! I also really like how they have the pictures sectioned out by region, makes for easy referencing and a great way to explore the world via the book. Well done Mr. Koval!

You need this book!

Some of the most stunning photographs all in one book. I pre ordered this months ago and am so excited to finally have it. The stories behind each image are a delightful touch. This is a gorgeous conversation starter and makes me happy sitting on my table

The Perfect Balance of Eye Candy and Information

I pre-ordered this book after finding Accidentally Wes Anderson on Instagram. This is chock-full of beautiful pictures, but there is also plenty to read with information about these locations. Since I'm buying this during the pandemic, I can't travel to these places in real life. But this gives me a lot of ideas about places that I would love to visit someday. I am really happy that I bought this for myself, because it's going to be a great coffee table books whenever guests are allowed to come back over again. This is a must-buy as a gift for anyone in your life who loves Wes Anderson. Whether they know about this artist or not, they will totally appreciate the aesthetic.

Accidentally Wes Anderson Rocks!

This book surpassed my expectations. The presentation is one of a kind. Grab a copy for you and a friend. The research and photographs are amazing.

Extreme Eye Candy!

This book is extreme eye candy!!! I love it! If you are a fan of Wes Anderson or beautiful photography you will not be disappointed! I’m already thinking of who I’m going to send this to for Christmas 😊 The only criticism I can think of is that a larger format would be even nicer. But don’t let that stop you it’s a beauty👍

Great Book!

The Accidentally Wes Anderson Book is curation of tremendous photography, detailed historical text and vibrant composition that will spark instant joy. Divided within by photographs that follow the stylings of Wes Anderson and the continents they reside in, you are transported around the world from the comfort of your reading nook. Mine will sit open on the coffee table, as the photos inside are just as striking as the facade itself. I already have another copy heading my way to give as a gift. Accidentally Wes Anderson The Boo exceeded my expectations for sure!

Beautiful book

Accidentally Wes Anderson is the perfect intersection of art and world culture. Firstly, it is beautifully designed. I also enjoy the historical descriptions that accompany each photograph. It was one of the things that drew me to the instagram account from the beginning. Just like that account, this book heavily inspires travel—and most importantly—curiosity.

Love this book!

Really enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading the fascinating stories behind the places shown. A thoroughly researched effort by the author. It makes a great coffee table book for casual browsing, or something you can really dig into if you want to. Absolutely love it - highly recommended!

New Favorite Coffee Table book and Bucket List Travel Guide :: Unmistakably Wes Anderson

This stunning book is everything I thought it would be and more. Thick glossy pages burst with color and thoughtful prose that take you on a journey into the delightful and obscure world that is unmistakably, Wes Anderson. The fact that these destinations actually exist and are curated so perfectly is mind blowing.

Well Done

This book is BEAUTIFUL in every way—from the details of the hardcover to the photographs and descriptions inside. Pages are filled with gorgeous full bleed photography and a little story to go along with each location. It's the perfect travel checklist that makes you want to go out and find your own Wes Anderson accidents!

BEST BOOK EVER!! A MUST HAVE.

This book blew my mind!! It’s a must have!! It is beautiful, elegant, and fascinating! I keep getting compliments on it from my friends. Perfect Coffee table book to read and enjoy. My favorite book. I’m going to buy one for my sister too!!!!!

The cure to quarantine traveling!

First off, this book is stunning! The photographs, the way it’s designed, the blips of info behind each photo, it all comes together so nicely. This book really cures the COVID non travel times and makes you feel like you’re exploring again. Highly recommend!

Awesome Book, small rip in book cover

Such a cool book! Love Wes Anderson and plan on gifting this to a family member who does as well. Only bummer is the book cover was a little ripped upon arrival.

Happy!

Have been looking forward to this book i've followed accidentally Wes Anderson on Instagram for a while now. Very pleased with this book and its hardcover size. I dont like overly large coffee table books and this one is just right.

maravilloso

amo este libro la entrega fue rapida y en perfecto estado

Great Visual Experience

Wes Anderson nailed it.

Armchair Adventure at its finest! (A great gift, too)

I have been a fan of the @accidentallywesanderson Instagram account for a few years, so when I learned a book was in the works I ordered a few copies as gifts for the design-lovers in my life. The books have started to arrive (along with my own copy) and it knocked my socks off! I knew that the images that "made the cut" would be stellar. What surprised me was the insightful, witty text that accompanies each photo. INCREDIBLE. The stories are well-researched and much more in-depth than what is on the daily Instagram account. It's wayyyy more than a "pretty coffee table book", though it is that too :) This is the best gift under $50, hands down. I'll be exploring and coming back to this one regularly. I still have 6 more sections to read and I'm enthralled. Kudos to everyone involved. P.S. I am updating this review after seeing a mention about losing images in the middle of the binding. I disagree that this is a problem. This book has special lay-flat binding. You just need to... open the book the full way ;) Added some photos of 2-page spreads so you can see.

So charming but so flawed

I’m a big Wes Anderson fan, and this book is a joyful tribute to his distinctive style with the frontal perspective, color palette, rigorous symmetry and nostalgic subjects. The photographs would be easy to appreciate even if you aren’t familiar with the director’s vision. My disappointment is that too many of these pictures are ruined by running them as two page spreads. This book is a fairly thick volume and symmetrical composition of so many of the photographs leave the center of the pictures lost in the gutter, effectively destroying those images.

Demasiado feliz con mi compra. El libro llego intacto hasta mi país. Muy feliz con mi compra 🚀

Oh, are they?!?

This is a wonderful book that is true and large to the aesthetic world of Wes Anderson. With over 300 plus pages, it’s worth the price to own and/or gift this!

Best book you could own 👌🏼

Beautifully written and so pleasing to look at. The photography done for this is amazing and I’m so excited to display this book in my home and share with family. 💛 Amazing job Wally and Amanda Koval!

Obsessed!

Love this book! It’s so beautiful and the perfect book to have on the coffee table. We were able to go to the pop up in NYC. Definitely suggest going if you can! I also got a tote while I was there!

Great book!!!

I love this book so much its so cute so informative and so wes anderson! Book was thicker than expected but thats a good thing!

Love the book

I was sad they stuck a sticker over the title on the front of the dust jacket, otherwise it was great.

So much awesomeness!

As a photographer and a huge Wes Anderson fan, I can't say enough about this book. It's a beautifully laid out book that has found a place on my night stand!

Not an accidental purchase !

Beautiful from start to finish ! My bucket list just grew after diving into this nonaccidentally ! Love seeing my home Charleston SC in there too !

A must for Wes Anderson fans

What's not to love?

Aesthetics galore

This book is incredible! Great photos in the Wes Anderson aesthetic and additional info on some of the locations.

Unique armchair travel

I've always been an armchair traveller - even more so now with the appearance of Covid. I love 'visiting' out of the way, off the beaten track and unusual locations and attractions etc. The newly released Accidentally Wes Anderson by Wally Koval is a compilation of those. Now, you may be wondering about the title. Accidentally Wes Anderson began as as a travel bucket list for Koval and his wife. Specifically places that embodied the style of filmmaker Wes Anderson. As they started to document their travels, others started weighing in with their own pictures. Things grew and there are now over one million Adventurers seeking out and sharing locations on Accidentally Wes Anderson (AWA) The real Wes Anderson provides a forward. The book is divided into nine chapters that circle the globe. Each entry has a full color photograph, location and year and a detailed entry on the place. This is one of those coffee table kind of books that if you leave out, people will inevitably pick and peruse. Normally I would have done that, but I decided to travel along with the layout starting with North America. The pictures are what first catch your eye, the stark simplicity, the colors, the almost 'otherworldliness' of them. Set into a single shot, they almost feel not real and do indeed bring Anderson's films to mind. Think 'The Grand Budapest Hotel.' And then there's the story about the location. This for me, was absolutely fascinating. A favorite? I can't pick one but the striped bungalows in Portugal, launderettes in England, a viewfinder in Iceland, fishing huts in Canada, typewriters in New York were a few of them. There are many, many more and each is just as wonderful Fans of Atlas Obscura will love this book. And it would make a great gift. Accidentally Wes Anderson is a unique and captivating look at jewels out in plain sight - if you only knew where - and how - to look.

Amazing book!!!

Such a gorgeous book! The photos are absolutely stunning, and I learned so much from the charming, well-researched captions. This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves Wes Anderson, design, history, architecture or travel. This one will be sitting on my coffee table fir a long, long time!

For Wes Anderson Fans. Everyone else, not so much.

If you are a Wes Anderson fan, you will probably find this book charming and a wonderful tribute to him and his unique brand of quirkiness. I, unfortunately and unapologetically, am not a Wes Anderson fan, and will never become one. I received this as a gift from someone who is a huge fan, however, who had hoped to convert me, and while I appreciate the thought and the gesture, she should have kept it for herself. I found it only mildly amusing but mostly irritating and banal, and could literally not wait to get rid of it.

This book RULES!

Amazing pictures, beautifully-written and detailed histories of the locations, excellent adventure tips, and it's got DELAWARE in it!! What's not to love? Your guests will immediately think you are 10x cooler than you probably are when they see this on your coffee table.

Beauty of Wes Anderson with a historic flare

Absolutely incredible book that will delight anyone as a gift or to keep for yourself. Every time I open its pages I find a new delight and an irresistible story to go along with every photo. The lay flat binding really allows you to get the entire effect of the full bleed double page prints. Genius idea so nothing is cut off. I can’t recommend this book enough!

A Gorgeous & Aesthetically Pleasing Book !

A BEAUTIFUL collection of photographs from around that world that are so aesthetically pleasing, I want to jump inside them! Or create a living room full of them! Or use them as the base for all my interior decorating! So much inspiration & color & happiness from one book. I can’t wait to travel everywhere that was photographed & see these sights for myself. A book full of spectacular photography & also a travel guide - my favorite things. Also love the forward by THE Wes Anderson himself. Bravo! I will enjoy perusing this book for many days, especially as the days of COVID keep me from exploring as much as I would normally want.

Delightful

If your a fan of Was Anderson films, this is the book for you. Visually pleasing photographs of thought provoking places. Makes one wish to travel extensively to view these wonders. Wonderful book!

Good gift for a Wes Anderson fan

Received the Kindle version as a gift. Fan of a lot of Wes Anderson movies but wasn’t too familiar with the fan site that made this book. I expected mainly a photo book with limited captions. Instead, each photo comes with a little history of the locations shot. The style of the stories matches the quirkiness of the films, so does the book layout. Happy with this :)

Book or Bucket List?

This stunning book serves as more than a collection of amazing photographs from around the world-- it's a bucket list, challenging readers to see the world in a more artistic way. Presenting real places in photos taken by real people really shows how Wes Anderson's unique style can be found anywhere. It makes me want to hop on the next flight and see these places in person, but for now, I will live vicariously through this book. I love it!

Two Thumbs Up!!!

I always loved their Instagram page. It always felt going on an adventure from your phone while sitting. When the book came out, I had to get it. I am not disappointed at all. Beautifully crafted with amazing photos from amazing photographers. This is for anyone who always wants to travel, always travels, and/or loves the stylistic tribute to the one and only Wes Anderson

The most beautiful book of all the books

What's not to love here? The images of @accidentallywesanderson Instagram are brought to life with fun and vivid stories. The book is just as quirky and whimsical as every Wes Anderson film. This will be a fun conversation piece for our living room. We love it! For now, it's a fun way to escape the confines of 2020.

Since I'm buying this during the pandemic, I can't travel to these places in real life. But this gives me a lot of ideas about places that I would love to visit someday. I am really happy that I bought this for myself, because it's going to be a great coffee table books whenever guests are allowed to come back over again. This is a must-buy as a gift for anyone in your life who loves Wes Anderson. Whether they know about this artist or not, they will totally appreciate the aesthetic.

Accidentally Wes Anderson Rocks!

This book surpassed my expectations. The presentation is one of a kind. Grab a copy for you and a friend. The research and photographs are amazing.

Extreme Eye Candy!

This book is extreme eye candy!!! I love it! If you are a fan of Wes Anderson or beautiful photography you will not be disappointed! I’m already thinking of who I’m going to send this to for Christmas 😊 The only criticism I can think of is that a larger format would be even nicer. But don’t let that stop you it’s a beauty👍

Great Book!

The Accidentally Wes Anderson Book is curation of tremendous photography, detailed historical text and vibrant composition that will spark instant joy. Divided within by photographs that follow the stylings of Wes Anderson and the continents they reside in, you are transported around the world from the comfort of your reading nook. Mine will sit open on the coffee table, as the photos inside are just as striking as the facade itself. I already have another copy heading my way to give as a gift. Accidentally Wes Anderson The Boo exceeded my expectations for sure!

Amazing!!!!

We just got this book and it's fantastic! It's not just the wonderful, vibey photos, the descriptions of the photos are so detailed and interesting. Stuff you'd never know. It's way more than just a coffee table book or a travelogue, It's so arty and inspiring. I feel like I went somewhere. Also, the Wes intro is pretty funny. Cool book.

AMAZING!!!

Absolutely beautiful book, perfect for a coffee table! If you like Wes Anderson, you’ll love this book. I received mine yesterday and haven’t been able to stop flipping pages, plus the descriptions of the locations are very well done!

Great gift for yourself or a friend.

I follow this IG account and am happy to have a hard copy version. It would make a great gift.

Nice book, but arrived damaged

I ordered this book early as a gift for someone during the holidays. The book itself it great but was damaged during shipping. Tore at the corner and scuffed on the front cover.

Stunning photography!

This book makes a great gift or coffee table book. The photos in it are absolutely STUNNING. Even as a homebody, this book makes me want to travel all over the world.

Amazing gift!

I bought this as a gift for my best friend who is a HUGE Wes Anderson fan. So excited for it.

Beautiful Book!

Beautiful photographs, well designed, plus interesting information. Makes an excellent gift!

Amazing

I loved this book. I loved the images and stories. It is wonderful, cozy, lovely and inspiring. Truly a joyful book.

Great book

Book is amazing!

Best accident I have ever had

Library book. No purchase. Great book. I was pretty well mesmerized by this book. All sorts of very interesting places with little blurbs about each of the places explaining their histories and claims to fame. Great photos. Fun read. Interesting. Get Covid out of way and maybe we can start visiting some of these places? Certainly well done and interesting. Had to rest my eyes after reading it. Didn't want to quit. Nice little getaway w/o leaving the couch.

Armchair Adventure at its finest! (A great gift, too)

I have been a fan of the @accidentallywesanderson Instagram account for a few years, so when I learned a book was in the works I ordered a few copies as gifts for the design-lovers in my life. The books have started to arrive (along with my own copy) and it knocked my socks off! I knew that the images that "made the cut" would be stellar. What surprised me was the insightful, witty text that accompanies each photo. INCREDIBLE. The stories are well-researched and much more in-depth than what is on the daily Instagram account. It's wayyyy more than a "pretty coffee table book", though it is that too :) This is the best gift under $50, hands down. I'll be exploring and coming back to this one regularly. I still have 6 more sections to read and I'm enthralled. Kudos to everyone involved. P.S. I am updating this review after seeing a mention about losing images in the middle of the binding. I disagree that this is a problem. This book has special lay-flat binding. You just need to... open the book the full way ;) Added some photos of 2-page spreads so you can see.

So charming but so flawed

I’m a big Wes Anderson fan, and this book is a joyful tribute to his distinctive style with the frontal perspective, color palette, rigorous symmetry and nostalgic subjects. The photographs would be easy to appreciate even if you aren’t familiar with the director’s vision. My disappointment is that too many of these pictures are ruined by running them as two page spreads. This book is a fairly thick volume and symmetrical composition of so many of the photographs leave the center of the pictures lost in the gutter, effectively destroying those images. It’s so sad that these spreads ruin great pictures with bad page design.

Stunning captures by real travelers, perfect ode to Wes Anderson.

This book is so beautiful! I was curious about what the quality of the printing would be like, wondering how the images would translate from what we are used to seeing on the Instagram page, but everything about this book is practically perfect. In this digital age, there is still something to be said about seeing full color pictures on paper- wow!!! The write ups on each destination are intriguing, but the pictures are STUNNING. I was so excited I couldn't stop myself from flipping through every page as soon as I got it, so I could see all the pictures. I can't wait to go back and read about each one. This book is giving me a serious case of wanderlust. If you follow this page on Instagram, love travel or photography, this book is a must have.

Great book for discovering the “trees in the forest.”

This is a great book for those who love to explore the strange and exotic “little things” often buried within the “big things.” Each page contains a unique place that, at first glance, you might say oh I’ve been there...but have you really??? In some ways it is similar Atlas Obscura, but just more micro level things/places of interest.

Bought it for the photography, keeping it for the content.

Exceeded expectations! I learn something new on each page, my son was particularly taken with a picture of an 1800’s grand opera house, and actually stuck around to hear me read him about it’s history! I also really like how they have the pictures sectioned out by region, makes for easy referencing and a great way to explore the world via the book. Well done Mr. Koval!

You need this book!

Some of the most stunning photographs all in one book. I pre ordered this months ago and am so excited to finally have it. The stories behind each image are a delightful touch. This is a gorgeous conversation starter and makes me happy sitting on my table

THIS BOOK WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO BE A LOCATION SCOUT FOR WES ANDERSON, BUT IT'S ALSO A LOVELY BOOK

Having followed this account on insta for years, I couldn't wait to get the book. It's a wonderful visual resource, full of beautiful photography and interesting details and tales of some wonderful places. Super inspiring, full of places you'll want to go and visit, and a brilliant visual resource and reference. If you've ever fallen in love with a Wes Anderson film, and his aesthetic then you definitely need this.

About time :) Thanks AWA

Brilliant book! I've followed @accidentallywesanderson on Instagram for a while and had to get my hands on copy when I found out they were translating their aesthetically gorgeous instagram account into a printed book. Couldn't fault this, beautiful design combining quirky Anderson-esque images with the stories behind them. Makes a great gift or coffee table book.

Stunning Book

Absolutely adore this book, the photos are simply stunning and great to have a hard copy of some stunning imagery in a world of compressed online images! It's also great to get some footnotes to explain the stories of the photos and their subjects.

Good quality

Early Christmas gift for my son who will love this! The copy received was in perfect condition unlike other reviews. I also Really like what I see at a glance.

A great gift for the discerning traveller

This proved to be a great success with the travellers and photographers in the family. I bought two copies based on the literary reviews in the papers.

Arrived Damaged :(

Unfortunately my book arrived damaged (See photos) and I'm not sure how to contact the seller about it. Otherwise, it is a huge, heavy, beautiful book.

Perfect gift

Purchased as a gift - gorgeous hardback book, beautiful colours and images. Will make a great coffee table book :)

An amazing book

This is wonderful book, it's perfect for anyone who loves Wes Anderson and his distinct aesthetic. It's filled with truly talented people and amazing places in the world, definitely one's to add to your bucket list. I'm so grateful that someone has made this book and put together such beautiful imagery for us to admire.

Beautiful book

Bought as a gift - very happy with this beautiful book, many of the images seen on Instagram but truly brought to life with informative descriptions on every page. I would definitely recommend.

Good book

An interesting read and nicely presented

Look at your world with new eyes.

Nicely produced book, another way of looking at the architecture. Plenty of inspiration.

I smile every time I open this book!

As a long term Wes Anderson fan this book put such a massive smile on my face! Every time I open it up I feel inspired and I can’t help but feel better! Such a wonderful collection of images and perfect for any film buff or anyone who just loves beautiful photos that tell a story.

Beautiful book

Really gorgeous book. Any fan of Wes’ films should buy this. A good variety of photos and had more pages than I was expecting.

Great book

Really interesting. Well worth buying this

Book of the year!

Great book, a slew of inspiration for travelers and Wes Anderson fans alike, plus some incredible interior design cues! A must have for lovers of art, globetrotting, architecture and all things beautiful!

Beautiful

The book arrived today and is so beautiful! The photography is amazing, it’s the perfect coffee table book that I’ll love forever!

Book is a great read, but has been used.

The book has either been used previously or mistreated, the pages are crinkled and there is a sticker smear.

Beautiful book

This book is so beautiful, much like the Instagram page. A lovely little addition to any coffee table. The paper is high quality and the contents are beautifully presented and laid out.

gift

Daughter very happy

Really really good

Unreal book and make sure you follow the Instagram account

Everything I’d hoped for and more.

Just exceptional!

In fissa più che mai...

Dopo aver acquistato questo libro che è di ottima fattura. Carta bella al tatto e stampa impeccabile, sono andata in fissa più che mai nell’immortalare scenari che possano essere presi in considerazione per la prossima edizione.

Precioso libro de coleccion

Ha sido el regalo de navidad perfecto. Seguimos a la cuenta de instagram hace tiempo, pero el libro te da un valor agregado, dandote informacion sobre cada uno de los sitios. La impresion de las fotografias es preciosa. Un libro de colección realmente.

PERFETTO IN TUTTI I SENSI

Arrivato in perfette condizioni. Per chi segue la pagina “Accidentally Wes Anderson” su Instagram questo libro è una chicca imperdibile. Ottima qualità, sia delle fotografie (sono presenti anche location italiane!) che della presentazione. Rapporto qualità/prezzo giusto. Consigliatissimo ai fan del grande Wes Anderson.

Libro interesante

El libro en sí está bien, es interesante y las fotos tienen muy buena calidad por lo que si lo recomiendo si tienes interés por los viajes y la fotografía de viajes. No le pongo la última estrella porque, como podéis ver en la foto, tiene dos cortes en el interior que podría haberse checkeado antes de enviarse.

Bel libro fotografico, arrivato non in condizioni perfette

Il libro è molto bello, peccato per le condizioni in cui è arrivato. Il primo ordine è arrivato danneggiato (logoro e copertina stracciata), ho usufruito allora del servizio di sostituzione. Servizio ottimo ma anche questa volta sui bordi presenta dei lievi danni, penso proprio dovuto al fatto che il libro non è stato imballato e il pacco non imbottito internamente. Decisamente meglio infatti lo terrò ma un libro fotografico da collezione me lo aspetto perfetto, non so se comprerò ancora un articolo del genere su Amazon se non miglioreranno il packaging

Fast shipping!! Wrapping needs to be improved

Libro bellissimo!! Ma purtroppo é arrivato rovinato! Non ho fatto il reso perché si tratta della copertina! Basterebbe un po di cura e attenzione nel imballaggio ( magari avvolgere il libro con del pluriball)!! beautiful book!! Fast shipping!! The only down side is that the cover arrived ruined at the back, a good solution would be wrapping the book with bubble plastic before shipping to keep it save!!

Excellent condition

this book arrived quick and came in excellent condition (packed very well) i highly recommend this coffee table book for your self or a Wes Anderson lover in your life.

da avere

Specialmente in questo 2020 in cui abbiamo limitato i nostri spostamenti un libro come questo è perfetto. Mette insieme architettura, foto e posti bellissimi di tutto il mondo tutto un pizzico di Wes Anderson.

BELLISSIMO

comprato per un regalo ad amanti di wes anderson. Sfogliato e ricomprato per me 5 minuti dopo. Bellssime foto, idea geniale, grafica pazzesca. Il miglior libro da tenere a casa e ostentare con gli amici.

Meraviglioso

Il libro è arrivato in ottime condizioni ed è assolutamente meraviglioso sia per quanto riguarda la fattura sia per quanto riguarda il contenuto. Sfogliarlo è stato come viaggiare stando a casa e in questo periodo non è poco! In più i colori e le inquadrature wesandersoniane trasmettono un'infinta sensazione di pace. Lo amo!

Bisogna anche aggiungere qualcosa?

Per chi ama il mondo di Wes Anderson questo è un bellissimo libro fotografico da tenere sul tavolo e sfogliare in continuazione.

Great customer service and timing! Highly recommended.

Amazing quality, Amazing content just like what I’ve expected and great timing. I was supposed to get the book on 10th November but I’ve got it 8 days sooner. Thank you so much and highly recommended for the “Wes Anderson” fans & anyone who likes to know more about beauties around the world.

Beautiful book !!

This book is beyond my expectations! It is beautiful and I really like that there is a description with each pictures! Would absolutely recommend and buy again as a gift for friends and family

I disagree that this is a problem. This book has special lay-flat binding. You just need to... open the book the full way ;) Added some photos of 2-page spreads so you can see.

So charming but so flawed

I’m a big Wes Anderson fan, and this book is a joyful tribute to his distinctive style with the frontal perspective, color palette, rigorous symmetry and nostalgic subjects. The photographs would be easy to appreciate even if you aren’t familiar with the director’s vision. My disappointment is that too many of these pictures are ruined by running them as two page spreads. This book is a fairly thick volume and symmetrical composition of so many of the photographs leave the center of the pictures lost in the gutter, effectively destroying those images. It’s so sad that these spreads ruin great pictures with bad page design.

Stunning captures by real travelers, perfect ode to Wes Anderson.

This book is so beautiful! I was curious about what the quality of the printing would be like, wondering how the images would translate from what we are used to seeing on the Instagram page, but everything about this book is practically perfect. In this digital age, there is still something to be said about seeing full color pictures on paper- wow!!! The write ups on each destination are intriguing, but the pictures are STUNNING. I was so excited I couldn't stop myself from flipping through every page as soon as I got it, so I could see all the pictures. I can't wait to go back and read about each one. This book is giving me a serious case of wanderlust. If you follow this page on Instagram, love travel or photography, this book is a must have.

Great book for discovering the “trees in the forest.”

This is a great book for those who love to explore the strange and exotic “little things” often buried within the “big things.” Each page contains a unique place that, at first glance, you might say oh I’ve been there...but have you really??? In some ways it is similar Atlas Obscura, but just more micro level things/places of interest.

Bought it for the photography, keeping it for the content.

Exceeded expectations! I learn something new on each page, my son was particularly taken with a picture of an 1800’s grand opera house, and actually stuck around to hear me read him about it’s history! I also really like how they have the pictures sectioned out by region, makes for easy referencing and a great way to explore the world via the book. Well done Mr. Koval!

You need this book!

Some of the most stunning photographs all in one book. I pre ordered this months ago and am so excited to finally have it. The stories behind each image are a delightful touch. This is a gorgeous conversation starter and makes me happy sitting on my table

The Perfect Balance of Eye Candy and Information

I pre-ordered this book after finding Accidentally Wes Anderson on Instagram. This is chock-full of beautiful pictures, but there is also plenty to read with information about these locations. Since I'm buying this during the pandemic, I can't travel to these places in real life. But this gives me a lot of ideas about places that I would love to visit someday. I am really happy that I bought this for myself, because it's going to be a great coffee table books whenever guests are allowed to come back over again. This is a must-buy as a gift for anyone in your life who loves Wes Anderson. Whether they know about this artist or not, they will totally appreciate the aesthetic.

Accidentally Wes Anderson Rocks!

This book surpassed my expectations. The presentation is one of a kind. Grab a copy for you and a friend. The research and photographs are amazing.

Extreme Eye Candy!

This book is extreme eye candy!!! I love it! If you are a fan of Wes Anderson or beautiful photography you will not be disappointed! I’m already thinking of who I’m going to send this to for Christmas 😊 The only criticism I can think of is that a larger format would be even nicer. But don’t let that stop you it’s a beauty👍

Great Book!

The Accidentally Wes Anderson Book is curation of tremendous photography, detailed historical text and vibrant composition that will spark instant joy. Divided within by photographs that follow the stylings of Wes Anderson and the continents they reside in, you are transported around the world from the comfort of your reading nook. Mine will sit open on the coffee table, as the photos inside are just as striking as the facade itself. I already have another copy heading my way to give as a gift. Accidentally Wes Anderson The Boo exceeded my expectations for sure!

Druckqualität leider entspricht nicht dem Preis

Die Fotos sind ohne Frage super. Druckqualität von diesem Buch ist allerdings zu minderwertig. Bei diesem kleinen Format und diesem Preis habe ich gute Qualität erwartet.

Accidentally Wes Anderson

Se amate le atmosfere surreali e oniriche di Wes Anderson, non potrete fare a meno di questo libro fotografico meraviglioso. Arrivato in brevissimo tempo in condizioni perfette ad un prezzo pazzesco.

Nice book but arrived in bad condition

Book itself is beautiful and of high quality, however it arrived with the dust cover damaged and does not look brand new. Disappointed in the handling of the book.

MOLTO BELLO

Ma non ho capito perché pre ordinandolo l'ho pagato tipo il triplo di quanto sta adesso.

Bellissimo

Fantastico, foto stupende che catturano lo stile e la maniacale simmetria del regista Wes Anderson.

Un libro che ne contiene tre!

- Un meraviglioso catalogo fotografico - Un ottimo libro di viaggio, utile a darvi uno stimolo ulteriore per scegliere le vostre future mete - Un bellissimo quanto originale omaggio a Wes Anderson!

Regalo azzeccatissimo!

L'ho regalato. Io non ne ne intendo, ma colei che l'ha ricevuto è stata strafelice!

gran libro

es un muy buen libro de fotografías, llego en perfecto estado y a tiempo

Foto incredibili

Preso come regalo, non ha deluso le aspettative! Impaginato e suddiviso per zone, ogni zona ha la sua cartina ed elenco dei posti con didascalia annessa di ogni foto.

Puro Wes Anderson

Puro Wes Anderson. Calidad de las fotografías y presentación. Sin trampas. La mejor opción si no puedes ir a la tienda del West Village de NY... 100% recomendable.

Armchair Adventure at its finest! (A great gift, too)

I have been a fan of the @accidentallywesanderson Instagram account for a few years, so when I learned a book was in the works I ordered a few copies as gifts for the design-lovers in my life. The books have started to arrive (along with my own copy) and it knocked my socks off! I knew that the images that "made the cut" would be stellar. What surprised me was the insightful, witty text that accompanies each photo. INCREDIBLE. The stories are well-researched and much more in-depth than what is on the daily Instagram account.

Consegnato distrutto

Mi è appena arrivato in queste condizioni, non aggiungo altro. Ovviamente verrà rispedito al mittente.

beautiful book, came in good condition

It came in a medium-sized box, big enough for the book to slide around in. There was no packing foam or any form of cushioning either. I was scared the book was gonna be damaged, but it came out fine.

Best Book for Wes Anderson Fans

So happy i pre-orderded this book. after finding the amazing instagram page, i was so excited when they decided to release a book. its a perfect companion to everything wes anderson related.

Imperdibile

Per i maniaci dei colori delle simmetrie e dell'estetica, un vero capolavoro!

Ottimo acquisto

Al di sopra delle mie aspettative. Molto interessanti le schede che accompagnano ogni immagine. Molto più di un libro fotografico. Ne acquisterò altre copie da regalare!

wer anderson's accidentally

Fantastic book.

Libro probabilmente usato

Il libro credo usato,privo di cellophane e danneggiato agli angoli in particolare in alto a destra.

Fantastic!

Great book, truly in the spirit of Wes Anderson's movies. A must for every fan!

Impacchettato male

Il libro è bello, ma è arrivato rovinato purtroppo

Immagini bellissime

Immagini bellissime che ti riportano negli scenari di Wes Anderson

Mauvaise qualité

Malgré de très belle photos, il faut avouer qu'au prix, on s'attend à un vrai livre avec une vraie couverture. Il y a seulement un papier qui recouvre un livre vierge. Autant dire qu'après 2 utilisations du livre, la couverture s'abime.

Lo consiglio
