The Ladybird Book of the Hipster

Hipsters like to keep fit. Among their preferred exercise routines are yogaaquatics, jitterbugging, and going upside down.

Are you always on the lookout for a new beard? Do you like the idea of making your own gin infused with sausages and toothpaste? Perhaps you go to nightclubs where there is no dancing and people just take flavoured showers instead?

If the idea of opening a pop-up trifle bistro in a Spitfire is your thing…chances are you would like to be a hipster and could do with this handy little guidebook by your side.

With the assistance of this smart and easy-to-read guide, soon enough you will be the hippest balloon-hat wearing hipster in town eating from anything but a plate.

"It’s enough to make Peter and Jane choke on their watercress sandwiches." – The Independent

Do you ever find yourself longing for a simpler time? That time before the horrors of speed-bumps, automated supermarket checkouts and infernal switchboard options; the days when telephones had wires and a reassuring rotating dial, a tweet meant birdsong and Brexit might possibly have meant a new kind of breakfast cereal?

Fear not, for you are not alone. What you need are the new manuals for our times, simple primers for the everyday predicaments we find ourselves in.

Dear friend, what you need is a Ladybird.
