Hip-Hop (And Other Things)
by Shea SerranoHIP-HOP (AND OTHER THINGS) is about, as it were, rap, but also some other things. It's a smart, fun, funny, insightful book that spends the entirety of its time celebrating what has become the most dominant form of music these past two and a half decades. Tupac is in there. Jay Z is in there. Missy Elliott is in there. Drake is in there. Pretty much all of the big names are in there, as are a bunch of the smaller names, too. There's art from acclaimed illustrator Arturo Torres, there are infographics and footnotes; there's all kinds of stuff in there. Some of the chapters are serious, and some of the chapters are silly, and some of the chapters are a combination of both things. All of them, though, are treated with the care and respect that they deserve. HIP-HOP (AND OTHER THINGS) is the third book in the (And Other Things) series. The first two—Basketball (And Other Things) and Movies (And Other Things)—were both #1 New York Times bestsellers.

Hippomobile!
by Jeff TapiaThere are many stories about kid crusaders who save something, but none like this one. With steampunk, tall tale, and just plain silly elements, the story of how ten-year-old twins Jimmy and Stella found out about the unique vehicle called the hippomobile, learned its history, and then used it to rescue their beloved town of Wymore is an original variant on a tried and true theme. A cast of wildly eccentric characters, most of whom are the twins' forty-seven grandmas and grandpas; a liberal sprinkling of diner slang and odd colloquial phrases, many explained in footnotes; and a sense that the events described never took place but could have are among the surprising ingredients of this unconventional creation. The fact that there really was a hippomobile with its own history doesn't interfere with the fun.
The Hippopotamus: A Novel
by Stephen Fry"I've suffered for my art, now it's your turn." So begins the tale of Ted Wallace, unaffectionately known as the Hippopotamus. Failed poet, failed theater critic, failed father and husband, Ted is a shameless womanizer, drinks too much, and is at odds in his cranky but maddeningly logical way with most of modern life. Fired from his newspaper, Ted seeks a few months' repose and free liquor at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Michael Logan. This world of boozy dinners, hunting parties, and furtive liaisons has recently been turned on its head by miracles, healings, and phenomena beyond Ted's comprehension. As the mysteries deepen, The Hippopotamus builds into "a deliciously wicked and amusing little fable" (The New York Times).From the Trade Paperback edition.

Hipster Hitler
by James Carr Archana KumarIn a competition of the most hated memes of modern times, "Hipster" has now caught up with "Hitler." Artists James Carr and Archana Kumar thought, why not combine the two? After all, Hitler was indeed a hipster of his time, a failed artist in Vienna scrounging up extra dollars or kroner painting quick architecture scenes for the tourists. In their heavily trafficked website, "hipsterhitler.com," these comic artists posit a new sort of history in which Hitler, wears Silverlake-trendy glasses, thrift store sweaters, and outspoken T-shirts, and the reader begins to quickly understand the history of Hitler in a new and strangely engaging way. The Feral House book of Hipster Hitler includes a few dozen pages of comics heretofore unseen online.

Hipsters. Un manual ilustrado
by Jorge PintoUna guía para entender y conocer a un hipster. ¿Eres, has sido o serás un hipster? Todos tenemos un hipster cercano, este es su manual de usuario para entenderlos, respetarlos y aprender a quererlos. ¿Crees que tienes mejor gusto que las personas que te rodean? ¿La mayoría de tus amigos no conoce a tu banda favorita? ¿El título de tu trabajo está en inglés en tu tarjeta de presentación? ¿Sólo usas Mac y crees que las PC son para Godínez sin alma? Si respondiste que sí, ¡muy probablemente eres hipster! Y es que el pensamiento independiente y todo lo alternativo caracterizan a un hipster. Valora la creatividad y el ingenio sobre todas las cosas, y es un sarcástico profesional. Eso sí, jamás aceptará que es hipster. No le interesa la tele abierta y jamás participa en una conversación sobre futbol o de los chismes de famosos. En su mente, es completamente libre. En la Ciudad de México, la colonia Condesa, un cafecito de La Roma y el Cine Tonalá son algunas de sus mecas. Si son ricos, se visten como pobres, si son pobres, tienen un celular que cuesta la mitad de un coche, equipado con Instagram para subir fotos "artísticas", pero eso sí, sólo cuando hay WiFi gratis. Son DJs profesionales aunque no hayan estudiado música y, sin falta, son bloggers de algo: moda, cine, arte, literatura. Si no encuentran trabajo, se inventan uno. Así de fácil. Los lentes de pasta, las bufandas hipsterizadas y los skinny jeans son básicos en su look. Y en los hombres, como usar bigotes está pasadísimo de moda, es un statement de individualidad perfecto.
