From the New York Times bestselling authors of Accidentally Wes Anderson comes 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.

- I have the first AWA book. Why should I care about this one?
Welp, it’s new and super cool. We don’t want to say it’s better, but…. it’s way better. If you liked our first book, or are new to AWA, we promise you’ll love the new one. Dexter gives it four paws up! 🐾

- Can I order directly from AWA's shop?
Sadly, no. Our tiny Team doesn’t have the ability to manage pre-orders through our shop — also, we’re not set up to have book sales count towards the NYT Best Sellers list and other prestigious fun things like that, so better off scooping a copy from one of our many indie friends below!

Unfortunately, Dexter doesn’t have thumbs 🐶 But if you can find us some pet-safe ink, we can paw-ssibly make something work…
- Will there be a book tour?
Yes! Wally, Amanda, Dexter, and friends are hitting the road to visit bookstores all over the US of A starting on October 23rd! Head here for all the deets.
