84 Charing Cross Rd, Helene Hanff (read January 2009)

What a treat! Accumulation of letters between screenwriter in NYC and used book purveyor in London over 20 year period late 1940's to 1960's. Simple, elegant, humorous and subtly descriptive of the times in both the U.S. and England. Can be read in one sitting. Enriched my life - how many other things can do that in such a short time?
