“a big and beautiful book that combines the sugary-sweet palette of Anderson’s cinematography with the snackable summaries of a guidebook.” (The Best Books to Give This Year)

“This coffee table book, full of Andersonesque visuals spotted around the globe, is a respite for the soul as much as it is really good decoration.”
— Entertainment Weekly
“‘Accidentally’ provides the theatrical whimsy we need now, when travel (not to mention moviegoing) is mostly a dream. When life seems upended, the pleasing symmetry of the Anderson-style images offers a comforting sense of control.
