Here is what people are saying about the 84 Charing Cross Road
5 Star Rating  "Lovely book...everyone who loves books should read this one!"2009-11-16
- Reviewed By User: A2CUWCJHUPGL9W
A great little book of letters. If you don't tear up at the kindness between these people so far away geographically from one another, but so close in spirit, you are made of stone! Helene Hanff writes her letters from New York City to London to bookshop that deals in used books and happily ships them to her. She responds by shipping them food and nylons in the early 50's, a time when England was still very much recovering from the war with little help in recovery (especially from the US).

So glad I finally got the opportunity to read it, and Ms Hanff would approve; I only paid .88 cents!
 
5 Star Rating  "Angieville: 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD"2009-09-25
- Reviewed By User: A3RSRLZ271Q81S
I owe the discovery of this wonderful book to DH, before he was DH, in fact. He gave the movie to me for my birthday--the first birthday I had after we started dating. Along with the Old Friends Simon & Garfunkel box set and a kiss. At the time we were living in different cities and meeting up somewhere in the middle for our "dates." So I drove home that night and watched the movie all by myself. I cried. Twice. I laughed and laughed and laughed. And I went out and bought the book immediately. I was on my way to London for a study abroad program and so it was a going away gift of sorts. He's particularly good with gifts, as you can tell. It is without a doubt my very favorite memoir and the movie adaptation starring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins is pretty much my favorite movie of all time. Just another of those little things that my man brought to my life that I might never have found without him.

84, CHARING CROSS ROAD tells the true story of Helene Hanff and Frank Doell. Helene is a loudmouth, eccentric, struggling writer from New York. Frank is a quiet, reserved, always proper bookseller from London. In a fit of rage at being unable to find the vintage editions of classic books she loves in New York, Helene drafts a letter to Marks & Co.--an antiquarian bookshop located at 84, Charing Cross Rd. The first letter reads as follows:

"Gentlemen:

Your ad in the Saturday Review of Literature says that you specialize in out-of-print books. The phrase "antiquarian booksellers" scares me somewhat, as I equate "antique" with expensive. I am a poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books and all the things I want are impossible to get over here except in very expensive rare editions, or in Barnes and Noble's grimy, marked-up schoolboy copies.

I enclose a list of my most pressing problems. If you have clean secondhand copies of any of the books on the list, for no more than $5.00 each, will you consider this a purchase order and send them to me?

Very truly yours,
Helene Hanff
(Miss) Helene Hanff"

And that is how this exquisite little gem of bibliophilia begins. Frank Doell answers Miss Hanff's letter on behalf of Marks & Co., signing his letter FPD. Over the course of twenty years, these two book lovers exchange letters and, in the process, become fast friends. Though they never actually meet, their friendship spans years, nationalities, personalities, and an ocean.

It's hard for me to express how much I love this collection of letters. I'm always wanting to talk about it with other readers but know few outside my immediate family who've heard of it let alone read it. Which is sad as, when I think about books about books and book lovers, I have a difficult time coming up with a better, more moving and intensely personal story. It doesn't hurt that I'm extremely tactile when it comes to my love of books. I adore owning multiple editions, particularly old, used, loved copies picked up in used bookshops around the world. The day I walked into Hay-on-Wye I promptly broke out into a cold sweat at the sheer number of "antiquarian booksellers" within a one-mile radius. And in this book, Helene Hanff's love for the physical books themselves, the words within, and British literature especially just suffuses this reader with joy and a beautiful sense of camaraderie. I hope that, if you haven't picked 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD up yet, you will.

Charming story. If you love books and are nostalgic of a world where human relationships could be built over traditional mail,...go for it
 
5 Star Rating  "I laughed and cried all over again"2009-06-09
- Reviewed By ivan11382
I've read the book several times (+ other books by Ms. Hanff): I adore the film - one of my all-time favorites. So, why did I even need to purchase this? Well, I'm always looking for short books like this one to take on trips (and such). This one, is just a little slice of heaven. I've been in love with Juliette Stevenson ever since "Truly, Madly, Deeply," and on through "Being Julia" and "Bend it Like Beckham." Her performance here is all you would expect. I laughed and I cried all over again. I can not recommend this one enough. Buy it - NOW.
 
5 Star Rating  "Better than reading someone's diary"2009-04-15
- Reviewed By bernie-at-nationwide-net
Like many people I saw a movie first. Naturally due to media constraints, you expect certain amount of the book to be homogenized. So I wanted to read what was missing. To my amazement very little was missing or modified. I don't normally read this sort of book. So I was surprised at finding myself wanting more when it finished.

Also until I read the book I did not realize that Charing Cross Road was a real place. The whole book is based on a collection of correspondence between Helene Hanff, an avid book reader, and Frank Doel an agent for British bookseller.

My wife has taken this one step further and is collecting all the books that were mentioned in the correspondence. Some of these books appear to have been reprinted due to this publication.

If you can find it there is a book called "The Library of Helene Hanff."
I wonder what became of all the other people described in the correspondents after the book.
