He listened to vinyl before you did. He drank whiskey before you did. He had a mustache before you did. Admit it: your dad was a hipster before you were! Based on the blog phenomenon of the same name, this book celebrates dads as the original hipsters. Vintage photos of real dads back in the day—in their short shorts and tight tees playing arcade games—accompany snarky captions that at once tip a cap to Dad's glory days and poke fun at modern hipsters. Featuring tons of never-before-seen content, this is the perfect gift for dads, hipsters, and those who love to tease them!

I bought this book for Father's Day and he absolutely loved it. The best part is that it led him to dig up old pictures to show he was just as cool. Priceless.

I got this for my dad for his birthday and I think he found it almost as entertaining as I did. Of course, he insisted that the guys in it were from an older time than he was.. But still, some very funny stuff

I recently received my copy of this witty book a few days ago. I've been waiting a year and half after submitting a photo of my dad to the author's website. I've watched the progression of this book from an idea to a real manifestation and I can honestly say it is an essential for anyone who's ever thought about moving to Williamsburg, silverlake or portland. Great pictures and funny one liners will really showcase that hipsters are only as original as their fathers. Worth every penny.

Brad Getty does an amazing job making all of us young hipsters feel like total wannabes in this book. The writing is hilarious. Even if your dad wasn't the hippest, he had to do at least a few of these things. Everyone can relate to this awesome piece of prose. Thanks, Brad, for making my Father's Day shopping easy.

This book is so, so hysterical. Each picture and description is funnier than the one before. I have a very high bar when it comes to humor and wit. You either got it or you don't. This book and author's got it. Clever. A laugh riot. Genius.

I got this book as part of my gift for an exchange and it was stolen several times by my crowd of friends. I looked through the book before wrapping it up and wanted to keep it for myself! It's great for anyone who knows what hipsters are. I saw some pictures that made me think of my own father!

I'm not a hipster and I'm not even sure what a hipster is, but the dad facts ring true. Very clever, very funny, and sometimes sweet. Makes me miss my dad.

One of the best book adaptations of a blog ever done.
