If you are one, this book is for you. If you are not one, (a redhead, of course), then you will see some beautiful photographs of various people, young to middle aged, women and males, short and long hair, but all of the hair is RED. Short first-person accounts by Barry Egan, Irmela Hannover, and the photographer, Uwe Ditz, are the only text in the book. But, to one who has lived through the experience of being a redhead by birth and genetics,this book is a gift; a rare confirmation that your experiences were real, predictable, and not uncommon. Three short prose essays expose the prejudices, superstitions, fears and nonsense, that surround the person who has a head of red hair, the fairest of complexions, and to some degree, the dreaded freckles.

If you are a redhead,you must have this book. If you love a redhead, consider giving it as a gift. You will be affirming the experience of someone close to you, whether male or female, child or adult.

I received this book as a birthday gift from an ardent admirer (OK, my friend Jim!) and we had a marvelous time moving from page to page and reading the sassy quotes of the beautiful men, women, and children.

The book now lives in my front room and has displaced all other photo journals by its very presence.

I concur with the woman who said, "I no longer worry about getting the perfect tan, I just glory in the perfect white"!

If you love or are a lover of redheads, this book will bless your home or office.

If you are a redhead, looking at these splendid photographs will make you feel like you found your lost tribesmen. A book of family members this carrot top had never met. Truly fun for a redhead or anyone facinated by redheads.

The book is in beautiful condition and the photograph is well done! I would say I am disappointed as I wanted a book with the characteristics of a Redhead not pictures.I guess I didn't read carfully.I have no use for this book,but it is not you fault.
Is it returnable?

Let's be honest. Photographer Joel Meyerowitz has a book with the same name and subject. And even the format of the photos are the same (large format). But his book was edited before this. So, what does Uwe Ditz book have for you to say "never before..."????
