BOOK BINDING

"Looking for love in all the wrong places," wrote songwriter Waylon Jennings for "Urban Cowboy". But some people are looking for and finding love in all the right places - like book shops. According to a survey conducted by BizRate Research for comparison shopping site Shopzilla, bricks-and-mortar bookstores are good venues for meeting blind dates.

After restaurants, they are the most popular locations to meet potential partners for both women and men (61 percent versus 52 percent). "You can find out a lot about a guy in a bookstore," Rebecca Opp, a production manager from Los Angeles told BizRate. "I especially look for single men in the cookbook, business, and pet sections". Yet when it comes to buying books, 78 percent of respondents say they are regular shoppers at online booksellers like Amazon.
