Comments

Karen: If you have red hair or are curious about history of people who do, it is an interesting book, easy to read and apparently well researched. Some of her findings are interesting and possibly a bit unnerving, if you do have red hair of any shade.

Rachel in MD: Interesting topic, and not one you typically see on book shelves. The author is British so she included a lot of background from Europe which I didn't know. I will keep this on my bookshelf, for certain.

LHonnLHonn: I was hesitant to order from a Goodwill but because the price was just too good I figured I would give it a try! I am so happy I did! The book arrived in perfect condition. It appears new! Cover and pages in perfect condition with no odor. And it arrived ahead of time. Beautiful Book with the pages almost seeming antiqued/aged edges. Glad to add this to my collection! A must for any redhead or redhead lover. Thank you Goodwill of Colorado!

Brad k: I didn't read it but my wife did and she absolutely loved it and generally she will be honest about a product but she had absolutely nothing negative to say about this book so with that I recommend it.

Lois L Wilson: I've been aware of this book for several years and always thought of a redheaded friend when I saw it. This year, I finally purchased this book and sent it to my friend for Christmas. He read it right away and loved it!

Emilie Dumas: very informative but with an engaging and personal tone so it’s never boring. For all the gingers out there !

Hanna Mourad-Agha: Interesting and a quick read. Nice for a redhead, which I happen to be! I found the medical information of most interest.

F.R. Jameson: This is a quite lovely, and utterly fascinating, guide to the subject of red hair. Taking in the science of red hair (how it isn’t a regressive gene at all); continuing with the startling facts that red-headed people feel pain more acutely than the rest of us and have their own scent; through how red-headed people have shown their presence in history and are regarded in art. And finally to the current day where hoary old jokes about redheads are called out for their offensiveness, and there are pride marches for red-headed people.

I love this book! It’s a genuinely interesting read, crammed full of information I’d never heard before, all written in a chatty, breezy style which teaches you without you feeling like you’re having a lesson. For such a niche subject (it’s estimated that no more than 6% of the population has red hair, maybe even as low as 4%) the book feels all-encompassing. Taking in thousands of years of history, high art, advertising, science and literature, it remains focused while touching so many bases.

I don’t have red hair myself, although have always had a thing for redheads. These days it’d be fair to say that I...
