[...] 84, Charing Cross Road: Several bloggers mentioned this in conjunction with The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I don’t know why I hadn’t heard of it before, and I loved every minute of it. [...]

Hello, Isaw the movie, it was old world and so sweet, I loved the reinactment of the time frame. So I’m a nostalgic person. I loved the period setting. I have been searching for the movie for many years without success. I did not know about the book. I will now buy the book.

Found your review via Sat Review. I read 84 Charing Cross Road years ago after seeing the movie. Helene Hanff did make the trip to England, but not until the bookshop had closed and her friend, Frank Doel had died. Apparently she wrote a book about her trip, but I’d never read it.

After the Guernsey book, I’ll have to read this book, which has been gathering dust on the shelf!

I wish you the best in this holiday season, full of joy and memories, and a healthy, bookish new year! Merry Christmas!

Now I have to go down in the basement and search out my copy of this one. It’s a “classic”…and there’s a nice film too. Look for it on Netflix.

I read the Guernsey … first and then Helene Hanff’s books. I liked them both.

I bought it after I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society too and read someone’s recommendation.
After you review I am looking forward to it even more!

I saw the film based on this story a few months back and really loved it. I kept picking up the book at work, but never actually brought it home. Perhaps I’ll take another look around for it!

I’ve heard of this book before but never knew what it was all about. Thanks for enlightening me.
