Which are the best openings with both sides or white castling queen side?

There must be some. :)

Sicilian, queen's gambit, petroff, scotch, and pirc come to mind first.

Probably every opening has some variation that involves queenside castling.

Thanks I will do some research on these. Do you know any books that explain these openings?

Unfortunately there so many books on chess openings that you could nearly start a library Laughing

I say unfortunately because few of them are high quality, and opening study isn't very important for most players anyway.

I don't own any books for any of the openings I play right now, so I can't recommend anything, sorry.

You can do pretty well with a database and youtube videos.
