Bohemian Manifesto: A Field Guide to Living on the Edge is a 2004 book written by Laren Stover and illustrated by IZAK. The book details the eccentricities, peculiarities, and informalities of being a Bohemian.

Stover uses prominent Bohemian artist quotes and letters to describe the traditional lives of Bohemians based on five "class" types: Nouveau, Gypsy, Beat, Zen, and Dandy.

Bohemian types

Stover classifies Bohemians into five mindsets/styles.

He says Bohemians are "not easily classified like species of birds," noting there are crossovers and hybrids.

Nouveau Bohemian

The Nouveau Bohemian: This type of Bohemian harmonizes elements of traditional Bohemian ideology with contemporary culture without losing sight of the basic tenets—the glamour, art, and nonconformity.

While Nouveaus may suffer poetically, artistically, and romantically, they have what appears to be, at first, one advantage over other Bohemians: the Nouveau has money.
