| Message | Having only recently read Helene's book and also seen the movie.....what jumps out at me is this....the love between people who had not met. Between Helene and Frank, and then between Helene and Nora......One of the most romantic works I have ever read w/o there being an actual romance. Makes me wish I had been able to go to Marks rather than Foyles or W H Smith. David Olympia, Washington USA |

| Message | I just watched the film 84 Charing Cross Road on Netflix here in New York City. I was too young when the movie originally came out, and amazingly, I had never heard of it until it was suggested for my queue. What a delightful treat! I was so touched by the correspondence between Helene and Frank, and then to discover your wonderful site... it's little things like this that remind me of how the world can be a magical place after all, that there are still warm-hearted people out there admiring the glory of the written word. To think that Helene and Frank developed such a connection yet never got to meet... so sad. I have a friend studying at Cambridge. Maybe I should go visit her before it's too late. At least Anne Bancroft got to enjoy 45 extraordinary years with Mel Brooks! Thank you for adding a little slice to life, with this profoundly moving site of yours. Please keep it up! All the best, Adam |

| Message | I will never stop loving Helene Hanff's books and the movie "84, Charing Cross Road". I was on that very road when I was 17 years old, while visiting England for a month in 1969. Little did I know! I had to have passed 84, no two ways about it. *sigh* Wish I could find the H.H. biography, which supposedly be written a few years back, but is now nowhere to be found. Rest in peace, Helene---I'm sure you and Frank had a wonderful reunion! |

| 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 | 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 |
