Recently I acquired a copy of-- well, apparently its official name is 'The Wes Anderson Collection: Isle of Dogs'. As well as concept art for the movie, it has interviews with the cast and crew, articles on the film's influences - including Hayao Miyazaki and Akira Kurosawa as well as more broad, cultural and historical influences - and tons and tons of behind the scenes details, including beautiful photography of the sets and models.
It awakened something in me because I've since bought The Making of Alien (excellent in terms of artwork and the conception of the film), The Art of Splatoon (as the title would suggest, more great artwork than behind the scenes stuff) and The Art of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (somewhere in between).
Pixar books are well-regarded, it would seem, but those that cover my favourite films of theirs seem to be out of print and therefore significantly more expensive. Studio Ghibli books, from what I've been able to glean from YouTube flipthroughs, seem to be a mix of just straight shots from the film and concept art (though some seem better than others in this regard). As far as videogames go, Breath of the Wild's artbook looks pretty definitive.
So. I've a coffee table. What books should I put on it?
