I'm almost afraid to handle such soft vellum and heavy cream-colored pages. Being used to the dead-white paper and stiff cardboardy covers of American books, I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch. [On receiving a 3-volume copy of Pepys' diary in New York] He was previously owned by a slob who never even bothered to cut the pages. I'm wrecking them, it's the thinnest India paper I ever saw. We call it "onion skin" over here and it's a good name for it. But heavier paper would have taken up six or seven volumes so I'm grateful for the India. I only have three bookshelves. | |

The UK edition titled 84 Charing Cross Road, ISBN 0860074382 and 1860498507, is actually an omnibus edition of 84 Charing Cross Road and The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. It is therefore correctly combined with this work, and should not be combined with the shorter single work 84 Charing Cross Road. Folio Society edition titled 84, Charing Cross Road contains both works and belongs here. | |

I remember I first saw that book about 25 years ago at a newsstand at either Heathrow or Gatwick airport. Its title told me something because at the time I used to stroll along Charing Cross Road almost every day. And the text on the cover made me believe that I would probably like the book. But for some reason or other I didn't buy it then (Mt TBR was probably high, even without BC). Since that time the book has been following me, almost badgering me to be read at last.
A week ago I finally gave in. A fellow BookCrosser who knows a little about my taste had just drawn my attention to the book, and so the time finally came. And, in three words: I love it! That exchange of letters between Helene (not Helen) Hanff and Messrs Marks and Co of 84 Charing Cross Road just makes me feel good! (
