Proof that the world is considerably weirder and better designed than we give it credit for.
Accidentally Wes Anderson by Wally Koval collects more than 200 real places that look suspiciously like someone forgot to yell “cut.” There are perfectly symmetrical buildings, improbable color combinations, peculiar landmarks, remote hotels, swimming pools, train stations, and other corners of the planet that somehow possess the meticulous visual logic of a Wes Anderson film despite existing entirely on their own. But the photographs are only half the reason to keep turning pages. Koval digs into the histories and human stories behind each place, turning what began as a travel bucket list into a 368-page argument for paying closer attention to the world around you. Beautiful enough for the coffee table, interesting enough to actually open, and likely to make your future travel plans considerably stranger.
