They drank whiskey before you did. They wore skinny jeans before you did. They had mustaches before you did. Admit it, they were hip before you were! Based on the blog of the same name, this book celebrates dads as the original hipsters. With vintage photos of real dads back in the day paired with captions that at once tip a cap to dad and make fun of modern hipsters, this the perfect gift for dads, 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.
