Wes Anderson has obviously been inspired by book on ocean adventure as shown by the significant role that Jaques Cousteau's book Diving for Sunken Treasure played in his filmRushmore. I love that movie so much that many times I've been tempted to pick up a hard back copy of the book. I was reading my copy of the pop-up version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and came across this illustration and was immediately reminded of the scene in Life Aquatic where we are given a tour of his boat. I'm sure Wes and his brother Eric had this book when they were kids.

Hello there.
The scan of your 20,000 leagues under the sea pop up book shows it is the same one I had as a boy. Unfortunately, I no longer have it. Is there any way to get the publisher's information from you? I am attempting to find a copy of it to read to my children.
