Putting Your Heart Online [Paperback]

NANCY CAPULET has written a practical book about how to find a mate on the net, using singles ads and services like Matchmaker (which has a London site) and Swoon. She succeeded in that - the book says she's going to marry David - and could well flog a few books via her Web site at www.HeartsOnline.com. (The Guardian (U.K.), July 30, 1998).

A gold mine for every single who is serious about finding love. Beautifully organized, thorough, and written with a delightful light touch, this book answers every question you might have about looking for love online. (Susan Page, author, _If I'm So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?_)
