About the Author

CORT CASS is originally from Pittsburgh, where he is the only redhead in his family. He graduated in June 2003 from Harvard, where he majored in Psychology and petitioned, (unsuccessfully) for a Redhead Studies program. Though he can be feisty at times, he is pretty laid-back for the most part. Just don't ask him if he's Irish.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, February 18, 2004

At last! A cool book about redheads that is hip and fun to read. Besides detailing where redheads came from and the science of red hair, "The Redhead Handbook" had all sorts of interesting tidbits that I cant wait to pull out to impress my redheaded friends.

I am biased, of course, since I am a proud redhead myself. I've passed it along to my family members and they are equally impressed (despite half being dreaded blonds).

I enjoyed this book. As a red head and the Mom of a red head, I thought this would be a good book to own. I was pleased to find it filled with fun facts interesting enough for adults yet easy enough for kids to enjoy as well.

Quick and funny book for redheads and their loved ones.
This is a quick guide to understand how a redhead feels and thinks, and how the world sees us.

I got it as a gift long ago... and I have been giving it out as a gift, to every redhead I come close with.
