84, Charing Cross Road

49. 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Fast, enjoyable read. I've always been a sucker for reading letters, of which this book is a collection.

I'd seen the movie years ago and enjoyed it. Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins star. It's an improbable film based on this book of letters about books that spans 20 years.

The book alone is quite entertaining. Highly recommended for anyone who loves actual physical copies of books.
