The follow-up to the huge international bestseller Accidentally Wes Anderson, featuring brand-new iconic imagery from the online community that boasts nearly 2 million followers.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Accidentally Wes Anderson is back with 200 brand new, mind-bendingly beautiful destinations for your bucket list, and the fascinating stories behind each location.

You'll visit the 'post office at the end of the world' in Tierra del Fuego - and meet the mustachioed letter carrier who, in his free time, runs an anarchist island micronation called Redonda.

You'll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are not allowed, humans cannot be buried, and a primary attraction is a doomsday vault containing the recipe for the Oreo cookie.

And you might just make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where there are more platypuses than people).

Full of incredible photos of real-life locations that look plucked from the world of Wes Anderson, this book is all about Adventures big and small, everyday and extraordinary, here and way over there. You'll meet some out-of-this-world characters and be left with travel, design and architectural inspiration beyond your imagination. No passport necessary!

Based on the viral online phenomenon and community of the...

    The Iliad
    When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was "fresh, unpretentious and lean" (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)—critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira, New York Times) and "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an...

    'My favourite band. Ever! And certainly the best dressed.' Sam Neill Split Enz were never designed to fit. Emerging from art school mischief in early-1970s New Zealand, they turned pop into surreal theatre: costume, character and melody colliding in a rock band that refused to behave like one. At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
