Overview
"The left-handed are precious, they take the places which are inconvenient for the rest." So wrote Victor Hugo in his famous play Les Miserables. This calendar celebrates what it means to be a southpaw with trivia, facts, quotes, anecdotes, legends, and more about left-handedness and left-handers. For example, did you know that Rome erected a sculpture of portsider Leonardo da Vinci waving his left hand to welcome guests to the city? Or that left-hander Elias Howe, who invented the sewing machine, put the needle on the left side of the machine where it remains today? Or that lefty musician Jimi Hendrix taught himself how to play the guitar by flipping a right-handed guitar upside down? This calendar is tailor-made for lefties: To make it easier for them to use, it features planning pages on the left with ample space for notes. The right side features an interesting fact about left-handedness. The calendar also recognizes the birthdays of famous left-handed people.Book Details
