| 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. |

| Message | Lovely website! I went to London a couple of years ago and found that 84 was no more. So thank you for the photos and the history. Every time I read Helene's books I want to go back to London again, press my nose against the glass of the bus window, and look at everything again as if it were the very first time. Helene Hanff is a kindred spirit to all of us who love London so much. |

| Message | Hi ! well....I don't know what to write ( maybe some apologies for my bad English ...) but I have to say that I have seen "84-Charing Cross Road" with Ann Bancroft and I LOVED the movie ! I have discovered in some scenes and descriptions the same love I have for London. I have read also "The Princess of Bloomsbury Street" and it was a lovely book ! I will recommend to my friends to read Helene's books because her way to describe the various places and the feelings she felt during her visit to London, is superb! I am a lucky woman because I have some English friends and we often excange letters and packages with gifts and surprises , like Helene made with her Library's friends. Helene was an american Lady with an English soul. God bless her. |

| Message | My husband and I watched the film last week for the first time and loved it. Robert Osborne said that the book store is no longer there and there is a bar there but that there is a plaque on the wall and mention of Miss Hanff. Is that accurate information? rose |

| Message | I watched 84 Charing Cross Road for the first time last night and absolutely loved every minute of it. I have been traveling to England since 1996- spending several weeks a year just exploring the countryside there. I am a huge fan of old movies (from the 40's especially) but my favorites are the British ones. I love the countryside and enjoy visiting locations that were used for filming particular movies. My very favorite village being Castle Combe which was used in the old version of Dr. Doolittle. I would live there if at all possible! I will purchase the 84 Charing Cross DVD as soon as possible and more than likely watch it several times a year! |

| Message | Your pages are great. I did visit your site before and now I am checking your updates. Tomorrow, 22 Nov, I'll be walking and photographing the 84 Charing Cross plaque. I just finished to watch this beautiful, moving story again. I am Brazilian by the way, and when in my home country my father and I used to watch together all these nostalgics movies from 40s to 60s and Charing Cross was one of them. I never imagined in my dreams some day in future I would be living here (UK) and have a chance to see, to photograph, and to live all emotions of a true story. |
