| Message | Just watched the Books film "84 Charing Cross Road again tonight with my wife. It was so wonderfully well done. Mel Brooks wife Anne Bancroft played Helen. According to her, she convinced husband Mel to do the film as an act of love. As a moviemaker, it is hard enough to raise money to make a movie. So this inspired act of kindness will be rewarded as a mitzva. |

| Message | I visit Charing Cross Road, whenever, I am in London. It is my pilgrimage as a book lover to the mecca of books. I go to Foyle's and Blackwell's, but I always pause at the corner in the memory of the members of Marks & Co. book store. Times have changed and now we have books on line, but, the fragrance of knowledge emanating from books lined in a book store is eternal. In life, I have found, that the best of friends are books, who are there to solace you in the "best of times, and the worst of times." To all my friends at 84 Charing Cross Road, who did not even know me, I say, Thanks for the Memories and God Bless." |

| Message | Would anybody out there have an inkling where Helen Hanffs most wonderful collection of books is now? I would had to think they are split up as thie is what would happen to most private collections. As to myself I love second-hand books and enjoy browsing through all these 84s. A couple of years ago I sent Helene Hanff a book titled Poems on the Underground and she most kindly responded and invited me to tea but then I never made it which I deeply regret now. I treasure her letter and keep it in my edition of her wondrous book. Heino Günther |

| Message | I just watched the movie and loved it and wanted to know more about the Helene and Frank and the book shop. While I was watching the movie I felt I was watching a movie about my self9. I love books, especially old books. My favorite past time is browsing used book stores. I hate to think what will happen to books with all the new e-readers coming out. For me there is nothing that can replace the feel of a hard back book. Thank you for this wonderful website. |

| Message | Found an old copy of 84 Charing Cross Road, and read it in one sitting. Most fun I've ever had I do believe. Reading, that is. I plan to do more research. Thanks for the website. |

| Message | A wonderful site!Helene's book has been printed for 11 times in the mainland of China since the Chinese Publishes got the copyright in 2005.Many Chinese who like books regard it as their special bible. In order to find materials to create the item "Marks&Co" in Chinese in the biggest Online Encyclopedia “Baidu Encyclopedia” I came here.I'm satisfied with your(i don't know your name...)hard work. Thanks For our Party,they closed "Evil"Facebook,twitter,Youtube...Leave your wonderful site for me. I think i should work hard for my poor English,maybe I can read Hazlitt or Hunt in the future. |
