Praise for Lanham's The Hipster Handbook
"Thorough and thoroughly entertaining... what The Preppie Handbook did for whale belts and synonyms for vomiting, The Hipster Handbook accomplishes for this generation's stylistic and linguistic signs and signifiers." [read the review]
— The New York Times
"Wonderful and frighteningly accurate."
— Gawker
"Describes everything cool—the slang, the dress code, the career path, greetings and (of course) taste in music kids from the Inner Mission to Williamsburg ascribe to—in pitch-perfect detail... Gently teasing and hilarious."
— Philadelphia Weekly
"The Hipster Handbook is the 21st century's take on (or offspring of) the now-classic... The Official Preppy Handbook"
— The Houston Chronicle
"Hilarious"
— Seattle Weekly
The Hipster Handbook is so comprehensive and so well-done that only a poseur could criticize it without tongue in cheek."
— Slate
"The Official Preppy Handbook for people who wear Atari T-shirts."
— Esquire
"Your official guide to the language, culture and style of hipsters young and old."
— The Los Angeles Times
"A hilarious anthropological appraisal of today's overeducated, underworked dilettantes"
— Boston Phoenix
