Hipster Animals: A Field Guide

An illustrated pocket guide to the hip characters populating "cool neighborhoods" across America, modeled on a bird watcher's field guide.

Based on the author's popular Tumblr of the same name, Hipster Animals will help readers identify such urban wildlife as "city boy BBQ pitmaster," "spazzy puckish crush girl," "pho authenticity police," and "dandy mixologist." The stylized illustrations of each of the 80 "hipster animal" types are hilariously rendered as actual animals in human clothes, and pithy accompanying text details these creatures' identifying characteristics, habitats, diets, and "calls." Including supplementary activities and essays (such as a feature on decoding the signals of different hipster species' mating rituals), this parody reference guide provides a snarky glimpse into the foreign - yet all too familiar - world of the trendsetters among us.
