These two ethnographies are easy/pleasant reads, frequently used in undergraduate courses:

Marjorie Shostak, Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman
Jean L. Briggs, Never in Anger: Portrait of an Eskimo Family

Ethnographies written almost solely for the purpose of introducing hunter-gatherer societies to college freshmen/sophomores include ...
Richard B. Lee, The Dobe Ju/'Hoansi
Colin Turnbull, The Mbuti Pygmies: Change and Adaptation
James F. Downs, The Two Worlds of the Washo: An Indian Tribe of California and Nevada
E. Adamson Hoebel, The Cheyennes: Indians of the Great Plains
N. A. Chance, The Iñupiat and Arctic Alaska: An Ethnography of Development
Hart, Pilling, & Goodale, The Tiwi of North Australia
Robert Tonkinson, The Mardu Aborigines: Living the Dream in Australia's Desert

These teaching ethnographies have been around for decades, so while they don't reflect current scholarship, it should be possible to pick them all up for a couple of bucks each, and I think you'd get a lot out of browsing them that's lost in comparative work.
