Sat down and read it straight through. Going to order some of her other books. Good night-time reading. The seller---Goodwill in Michigan---was maybe a week early. Used, very good condition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfection *by A***R on December 17, 2025* I absolutely love this story. It’s a beautiful glimpse into life. Simplistic but so wonderful. Will stick with me for life. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I laughed and cried all over again *by K***R on June 9, 2009* With fifty years of memory on my brain's hard-drive, I can't actually remember when I first came across this volume. To say this book has left an indelible mark on my heart would be an understatement; it has had a profound effect on my life. This book is `the perfect storm' for me. I have a couple paperbacks, a copy of the play script, an audio book, and the film. I love the era, the book love (not just reading but being around books, the library, haunting old book shops - talking about books and just being with the books) and also letter writing to friends. I have a couple of pen pals - my favourite is my friend Edel in Ireland (oh, how I long to jump on a plane and surprise her). I love most English things and NYC too (the theatre, museums...). Like Helene, my heart skips a beat as I approach my mailbox and see a package waiting for me. For me this book evokes a time and a place - a simpler way of life. She was a near-do-well. Her book "Underfoot in Show Business" details her career. She only "just" made enough to get by. She wrote plays that were never produced. She wrote for "live" television, but when the studios learned how to "film" television everyone moved to Hollywood. Helene wrote educational books - biographies for children. This book, "84, Charing Cross Road," the play and film, her subsequent books and "Letter from New York" (her BBC radio broadcasts), kept her solvent, but never made her rich. I found a hardbound edition at Powell's (in Portland, OR) that I would run into a burning house to save. In "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Holly talks about 'the mean reds' - when she and the world are at odds and everything just seems wrong (which is different from 'the blues') and how she goes to Tiffany's..."84, Charing Cross Road" is where I go. RE: the audio book: I've read the book several times (+ other books by Ms. Hanff): I adore the film - one of my all-time favorites. So, why did I even need to purchase this? Well, I'm always looking for short books like this one to take on trips (and such). This one, is just a little slice of heaven. I've been in love with Juliette Stevenson ever since "Truly, Madly, Deeply," and on through "Being Julia" and "Bend it Like Beckham." Her performance here is all you would expect. I laughed and I cried all over again. I can not recommend this one enough.
