You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon bee totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive “dustjacket” is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon bee engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointmentwithout buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to e out carrying a copy of the latest bestselling novel and perhaps a book about brassrubbingsomething that had only vaguely interested you up until then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.71.

Up to 8 out of 10 women are dissatisfied with their reflection, and more than half may see a distorted image.Men looking in the mirror are more likely to be either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive bodyimage than womenif anything, they may tend to overestimate their attractiveness. Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.Why are women so much more selfcritical than men? Because women are judged on their appearance more than men, and standards of female beauty are considerably bombarded with images of the “ideal” face. And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV, magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly. It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw through their entire adolescence. Also, most women are trying to achieve the impossible: standards of female beauty have in fact bee progressively more unrealistic during the last century. In 1917, the physically perfect woman was about 5ft 4 in tall and weighed nearly 10 stone. Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average woman.
