On each page in this book, drawn by artist Maxim Usik, Attenborough is lying in wait. You'll have to find him as he dives into the ocean, wades through wetlands and hides in the long grasses of the savannah - all the time keeping a watchful eye out for some of our world's most incredible - and endangered - wildlife.There's no better way to celebrate an international icon (and perhaps stop and think about conservation along the way).

This book is a love letter to Keanu Reeves, the most meme-able and cherished man to have ever walked the earth.

Now that the John Wick franchise has brought Keanu back into the spotlight, any cinematic flops in which he starred may now be considered as experimental performance art. So sure, we all know and love KR for his most iconic roles. But did you know that he was born in Beirut? Or that Keanu was on track for a career as a professional hockey player until he was derailed by an injury? Or that the “sad Keanu” meme was actually just a picture of the actor enjoying a sandwich alone? Well, this book is packed with these tidbits, told in the only appropriate way: photocollage.
