Anderson shares the story behind Isle of Dogs's conception and
production, and Anderson and his collaborators reveal entertaining
anecdotes about the making of the film, their sources of
inspiration, the ins and outs of stop-motion animation, and many
other insights into their moviemaking process. Previously

hand-written notes and storyboards accompany the text. The book

Collection, Isle of Dogs stays true to the series with its rich
design and colorful illustrations, capturing Anderson's signature
aesthetic vision and bringing the series's definitive study of

of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey
that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture. The
