Summary: Very funny and insightful
Review: The first book to accurately describe today's youth culture. The glossary of slang is worth the price of the book. Deck! Plus it is very very very funny. really funny.

Summary: Super Deck
Review: The funniest book I have read since, well, since I don't know when. It came out a year ago, but is still very relevent. I read an excerpt originally on freewilliamsburg.com and stumbled upon this book and was delighted to find how funny it is. Whether you are a hipster or hopelessly uncool (like me) this book is a great, fun, smart read.

Summary: not bad, if you don't have anything else to do
Review: This book is perfect to take it on a plane. According to this book in order for you to be a hipster; you have to be a little dirty, have a body piercing, have kissed somebody of the same sex, know exactly where to get drugs and be younger than 30. So... no thank you! I though this book was going to be more about the culture of the young Americans. Apparently the "hipster is about appearance, and a bunch of rules that they have invented so they can be "deck".
So as a foreign to the American culture I am sure this is just a bad characterization of certain kind of young people that dress and talk in a certain way. I mean there has to be hipster all over the world right? What happened to that possibility?

Summary: Nope
Review: This book just so thoroughly does not get it right. I don't understand the massive fascination with it from the NPR set. The definitions and observations do not ring true. It all seems forced. "Deck?" Who says "deck?" A small group of people in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I guess. The "Preppy Handbook" did a much better job of summing up the 80s than this one does for our era.

Summary: A must read
Review: This book started out as a satirical book about Williamsburg types. Now it is taken as a hipster bible. Now people refer to it constant as a measuring stick. Some character said "deck" on the Sopranos last week.

Summary: Work of a Genuis!
Review: This work is absolutely hysterical. If you have a notion of sarcastic, off the cuff, smart comedy, buy this book. Lanham borders on the praise and patronization of hipsters and their main offshoots. He also shows their likes and dislikes in music, movies, art and fashion. There is also a hipster quiz at the end of the book to determine if you yourself are "deck" enough to be considered. My favorite parts of the handbook are the lists and charts Lanham has interspersed throughout with comparisons and constrasts. ...
