This book is the story of the love affair between Miss Helene Hanff of New York and Messrs Marks and Co, sellers of rare and secondhand books, at 84 Charing Cross Road, London. An exchange of letters, all through the '40's and '50's, between Miss Hanff and Marks & Co., Booksellers, 84 Charing Cross Road (London of course) and much of its charm depends on whether you respond to Miss Hanff. She's one of those instantly informal types - send me "just a nice book small enough to stick in a slacks pocket and take to Central Park" - or it might be the Bible or the Canterbury Tales. During the austerity she sends food packages; in time her correspondents at 84, Chafing Cross Road become more familiar - particularly one Frank Doel who dies at the end.... As a book it's not much more than a bibelot - casual squiggles with a little space for sentiment between the lines.
