"With complete glossary for squares" - news you (meaning I) could use!

I'm sure it was full of hip expressions.

I want that glossary so I can start using the lingo. I will be retroactively hip.

Just, like, say "man" a lot, man. That'll, like, do the job.

I have a feeling that Lucy Show episode where Lucy and Viv go to some sort of Beatnik/Hippie mashup club on Sunset Strip is about as accurate as this book.
