Single?  Want to meet someone lovely but are fed up with meeting blokes who just want to tell you about their dull job and brag about their New Town flat and BMW?  Or being set up with girls who want you to be interested in handbags or how they nearly sat next to Brad Pitt on a plane?  Wouldn’t it be nice to meet someone and talk about books?  Then you’d really know whether you had anything in common before you went on that first date and on that date, if conversation dried up a little, you’d know that you could talk about books a bit more, wouldn’t you?  If only someone would organise something that meant you could meet that sort of person…

Well, wish no more single people of Edinburgh because The Edinburgh Bookshop is riding to the rescue with the city’s – and quite possibly Scotland’s – first literary speed dating evening.  Instead of trying to chat in nightclubs or resorting to on-line dating agencies, why not come along to the incredibly stylish The One Below at The Rutland Hotel and see what happens? We’ve got the whole bar to ourselves for the evening so there’s room for lots of people.

You’ll meet lots of people and have 2 or 3 minutes to talk to each of them about your favourite book or books and at the end of the evening you can tick the names of the people you’d like to know better.  The following day Becky and I will get the lists together and people who ticked each other will be emailed with each other’s contact details.

Why not come along?  Tickets are £5 including a drink on arrival.  At worst you get to spend an evening talking about books (never a hardship) and you might even find everlasting love?
