Welcome to the Wes Anderson Museum—on your bookshelf.
As whimsical and visually striking as the director’s films themselves, this museum-in-book-form invites readers deep into Anderson’s world. Brimming with film stills, illustrations, costumes, souvenirs, and wonderfully odd ephemera, it’s a treasury that captures both the spirit and the influences behind his work.
Inside, you’ll find everything from a recipe for a ham sandwich at The French Dispatch’s Le Sans Blague café, to the story behind Tang—the beverage of choice for the campers in Moonrise Kingdom, to the secret of L’Air de Panache, the signature scent of The Grand Budapest Hotel. Alongside these artifacts are explorations of Anderson’s inspirations, from Indian cinema and French pop music to The New Yorker and the novels of J. D. Salinger.
Diehard fans and casual admirers alike will delight in discovering Anderson’s unexpected connections—to balalaikas, The Beatles, Benjamin Britten, and legendary filmmakers like Hal Ashby, Orson Welles, and Francis Ford Coppola.
Playful, immersive, and endlessly fascinating, this technicolor volume is part archive, part tribute—and entirely Wes Anderson.
