I really can't recall canon on this  (and don't have the books with me to research) but I doubt that Squibs would have wands.  Squibs aren't wizards after all, and if Hagrid - a wizard - was not permitted a wand when he was expelled from Hogwarts, why would non-wizards be permitted to have them?
 
Again, I can't remember details, but I believe Filch's wizard-improvement books were simply  geared for those with poor wizarding abilities, not non-wizards. Alas, (for him!)  I suspect he ordered them in hopes of stimulating some dormant wizard-ness. Can you imagine the havoc that would ensue if non-wizards were able to use, let alone possess wands? Privet Drive would have been a battleground.

On another note, please forgive if this has previously been discussed and/or explained, but what or who is "Fandon" and why would Ginny be called Mary Sue?
