  84, Charing Cross Rd is absolutely delightful. you read it in a heartbeat and wish it would never end...alas!, it is shorter than you had imagined and it soon leaves you desperate for more. but then you turn the page, and stumble upon The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, HH's account of her coveted first visit to London, and you are most thankful to her for having kept a diary.

  a gem not to be missed.

  Really a beautiful little book!
  I like Helene so much,she's really funny!

  "...And "in" at home is "trendy" here and " give it up" is "pack it in" and "never mind!" is " not to worry!"
  And when they pronounce it the same they spell it differently. Acurb's a kerb, a check's a cheque, a racket's a raquet - and just to confuse you further, jail is spelled "gaol" and pronounced "jail".
  And a newsstand's a kiosk, a subway's the tube, a cigar store's a tobacconist's, a drug store's a chemist's, a bus is a coach, a truck is a lorry,buying on time is hire purchase, cash and carry is cash and wrap and Shaw once observed, we are two countries divided by a common language. I am now going to bed because it's quataposstwelve."

  Indoubtly I loved the romantic idea of two people connecting through books, mailing each other in unique handwrited letters, personalizing each with a bit of themshelves. It was such a pleasurable reading that I highly recommend it for anyone, specially if you can get a paperback and carry it in a travel. i consider it a really good story...

  Me encantó la idea romántica de este libro de dos personas conectando a través de la compra de libros y una correspondencia ya perdida en medio del caos multimedia de hoy día. Sin duda una lectura amena y altamente recomendable.
