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

By	"billyw70" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun facts, April 25, 2006

By	C. Gibson (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

I thought this book would be a little more informative. It's cute and funny but I wish it had more information on the miracle of redheads!
