The team responsible for THE HIPSTER HANDBOOK broaden their field of study with this groundbreaking (and humorous) work in the field of idiosyncrology, the author's self-coined term for the study of various contemporary social types. Among the many specimens documented are the bossmosis (he absorbs your ideas and offers them to his bosses while failing to credit them to you); the Zinger (his conversational repertoire consists solely of quotes from TV and the movies); and the Cherohonkee of the title (a white person who overly identifies with Native American cultures). Naturally, the text is copiously illustrated in black-and-white for better recognition of these creatures in their natural habitats. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
