What is A Field Guide to Strangers?
A humor brand of printable people-watching bingo. Each edition is keyed to a place where strangers gather — airports, weddings, the bachelor party — and is written in the dry, observational voice of a nature documentary, about humans.
Do I need a printer?
No. Print it for a paper card, or open the PDF on your phone or tablet and mark squares with Markup, Apple Pencil, or any annotation app. Both modes are intended.
Can I get it as a book?
Yes — all nine editions are also 4×6 pocket paperbacks and Kindle editions on Amazon: same specimens, printed and bound, ready to gift. Paperback $9.99 · Kindle $6.99. See every edition at /books. The PDFs here are the instant, $3 option.
Are these mean-spirited?
No. We punch at behaviors, uniforms, postures, and accessories — never at identities. The reader is in on it. We are documenting a species we belong to.
