Some of the books and websites consulted in the preparattion of this site
I have consulted many websites and books on the subject of handedness in the preparation of this website, some to a greater extent than others, and some with more confidence than others in their accuracy and objectivity. Among that list are the following.

I have not included websites that require logins or memberships. Neither have I included websites devoted to �25 Amazing Facts About Left-Handed People�, �10 Proven Benefits of Being Left-Handed�, etc (although I will admit to reading some of them, just out of interest). I have, however, in a spirit of inclusiveness, included some Left-Handedness Advocacy/Help web-sites.
