I've never seen one. You could hold the page up to the light and look through from the other side.

Yes, I've heard of them, but I have not had the pleasure of listening to them. I'll put that on my bucket list!

Sarah almost said what I had in mind. Also, holding the righties up against a mirror might help or scanning them and reversing the image through your "Paint" (Microsoft) application on your computer after you've pasted the pix on your hard disc

token lefty chimes in...
I know there's books for lefties out there, I never bothered with buying any. I learned everything fron righty charts and by watching other guitarists. For learning new (to me at least) chords I've never had trouble using righty charts, when learning uke chords I instantly develop dyslexia and have the hardest time figuring out which finger goes where...
