| Message | It seems life has turned full circle. I visited this page in April 2009. I am now studying literature at University as a mature age student. One of the books that we will be studying is 84 Charing Cross Road. As I excitedly started to quote passages from the book I was asked to please let the other students have a chance to read it for themselves and write their own reports. I still have my very well worn copy, with loose pages and worn spine. I will never part with it as it means so much to me. (read my previous entry to understand why) It has that well read touch and smell. It is a beautiful story that transcends time. Thank you for letting me share. Tom Simunsen |

| Message | Thank you for this wonderful website. It was a delight to discover that such this tribute to a wonderful story already so many years old, and that the site is still updated today. I'm a 25 y.o. who has been lazily trying to find a good audiobook after falling in love with the BBC4 radio dramatization of Neil Gaiman's 'Neverwhere' and wanting more. I picked up the audiobook for '84' at the local library, having heard of the book title but with no idea what it was about. I was thoroughly charmed by the story and growing friendship between HH, FPD and everyone else whose lives were touched by HH's generosity and humour. Juliet Stevenson & John Nettles were fantastic along with the supporting cast - I wonder if the same feelings would have evolved if I had been introduced to this story via the printed word. The romantic in me rejoiced when FPD's letters became more familiar and I was always attentive to the salutations used to begin and end each letter. Having noted from the description the year Frank died, I grew anxious listening to the last letters from Frank, even while delighting in the warmth and humour that had taken such a long time to show itself. I was brought to tears by the end. I can't wait to relive the story again when I manage to get a copy of the book and movie. |

| Message | WOW, I agree that this is a GREAT SITE that helps to keep the memory of Marks and Co. alive and well!!! I was lucky enough to be able to visit London between Christmas and New Year and now the ground floor of 84 Charing Cross Road is a very nice restaurant and it's web site is: leon-de-bruxelles.co.uk By the way it's official address is 24 Cambridge Circus, but that's because it's on Cambridge Circus across from the Palace Theatre. While I was in London I also really enjoyed the Churchill War Rooms Museum and Bath, England too! |

| Message | A few weeks ago I was standing in front of Franks bookshop and thought of all the dear people who were and are connected with it. This book has shaped my life and gave it new directions. Many years ago I received a letter from Helene, which I treasure. |

| Message | Lovely site: I am working with a book inscribed by the staff of Marks & Co. and your site helped me make a positive identification of 7 of the 9 people who signed the book as being staff members of the firm. |
