| Message | The film will be shown on Friday 17 September 2010 by the Friends of the Library at Prospect, South Australia. Thanks to a proper celluloid copy being held (for special uses) in the national film lending collection, we will show reel-to-reel. And talking to each other while the reel is changed. Just as was done in Helene's day. |

| Message | Hello. I have always liked the movie. I would like to know if 84 Charing Cross Road is a real bookstore. I love to read all kinds of books. |

| Message | Wow. Lovely site. This book came as a bit of a shock for me, I've just read it. I worked at 120 Charing Cross Road (for a book chain) for some time and my husband worked at ninety something Charing Cross Road (in a picture framers) for many years in the late nineties and early noughties. We always thought this book was fiction! We were both asked many times by people where number 84 was and we told them it didn't exist as there is no number 84 today. I always meant to read this book and I saw it in a bookshop in the city in the north of England I now live last night and bought it. I read it all in one sitting and was amazed to find Marks and Co was a real place and that I had walked past the site hundreds of times. I adored the book and it is now down as a firm new favourite. Thanks for the site providing all this information as I still wasn't quite convinced it was all real until seeing this! And thanks to the late Frank and Helene for providing such a little gem that was a real joy to read. Now off to read the Duchess of Bloomsbury! Thanks |

| Message | Thank you so much for the work you've put into this site. I read both 84 Charing Cross Road and The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street as a teenager (I'm 53 now) and loved and remember both books. I loved visiting this site and learning more about the people Helene Hanff brought to life in her book. |

| Message | Thanks for the lovely website. In 1989 I was working at the College of Saint Mary in Omaha, Nebraska when we were presented with the shop sign that hung outside Marks & Co. Someone from the Board of Directors at the college had met Helene Hanff on a plane trip and become friends with her. She apparently had the sign and gave it to him. The last time I saw it in 1996 it was still hanging in the lobby. |

| Message | 84 Charing Cross Road is one of my favorite books. I have used the instructions for making Yorkshire Pudding which are in the book, many times! On a long-ago visit to London, my husband took my photo in front of the old store, which appeared to be just a vacated building at that time. But it felt like a sacred place! How wonderful of you to do this website. All the best. |

| Message | Steve, As a repeat visitor and huge fan of Helene Hanff and 84 Charing Cross Road I want to thank you again for this site. One comment - I think you should consider adding an "About Me" section/link (and if there is one already I must have missed it) so visitors can have that information. Cheerio! |

| Message | I love this small book <84 Charing Cross Road>, a thin book with such deep feelings.I always put it in my bag and read it time to time. The movie is great, but I still think the book is much more than the movie, there is something you have to think over and over with the simple words, and every time when you read it you'll find something old but new to you and it will make you can't help searching the gone but not faded things between the lines.I love British litrature, love everything in London, because you always can find what you are looking for. There is a small piece of fine art paper attached to the front page in Chinese version, it says, "If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road kiss it for me! I owe it so much." Some day,I will visit London, hope I still can find Marks & Co. in the atmosphere there. |
