Reviews"[Aiello's] masterful synthesis is a refreshingly unconventional analysis informed by anthropology, behavioral science, linguistics, haberdashery, epidemiology, and pop culture minutia. I look forward to adding it to my syllabus next term. Bravo!"- Patrick J. O'Grady, professor of hip studies, Center for the Study of Sublimated Individuality (CSSI)

SynopsisMore than 45 species of urban "hip"sters have been identified in the wild, many through the work of esteemed antr"hip"thologist, Aiello. "A Field Guide to the Urban Hipster" allows readers to identify and communicate with each. Illustrations., A Comprehensive Guide to Identifying More than 35 Species of Urban Hipsters Like most wildlife, Urban Hipsters offer valuable and entertaining opportunities for observation and study. To date, casual students of wild Hipsters have been left without a tattooed ankle to stand on, as even the simple tasks of identifying and classifying each species have never been completed. The Hip, though simpleminded, are wily. Now, however, this cutting-edge manual by world-renowned hipthologist and dinner-party favorite Josh Aiello allows even the most amateur of observers to differentiate a Mod (Angophilia dandyum) from a Punk (Rebellium ostentatia), to identify the velvet rope-circumvention abilities unique to EuroTrash, and to recognize the symptoms of Ex-Fratcarried Loafer-and-Wallet Disease with confidence and ease. A Field Guide to the Urban Hipster covers mating habits, the origins of species, and natural habitats for all species one may encounter, regardless of terrain. The result of over ten dateless years spent in the field, A Field Guide to the Urban Hipster is sure to educate and delight for generations to come. Lavishly illustrated by former pet caricaturist Matthew Shultz, this comprehensive guide is the ultimate handbook for the urban observer.
