Better than reading someone's diary,
By
This review is from: 84, Charing Cross Road (Hardcover)
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. 84 Charing Cross Road
