The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel

“Eye-popping!” * New York Times Book Review *“A rare follow-up that equals its predecessor, and a welcome post-script from the critic who’s become the definitive voice on all things Anderson.” * Flavorwire *“Like Anderson’s work itself, this book’s visuals will have you coming back to it again and again.” * Boston Globe *“More than a companion piece to the previous book—it’s a veritable companion, to be taken along on exotic trips, and to be talked to when nobody is looking.” * Philadelphia Inquirer *
