The characters become like family.
This a delightful of a small book store and a New York author/playwright. It is a short piece but I have benefited from rereading it many times. I highly recommend it, especially if you have a love for good books, as the author had.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Exceptional read.
Once I finished the copy my son sent me I knew many of my friends would enjoy it. I’ve bought four copies and passed them around our book club. With this isolation continuing you never know when you’ll find a book hanging on your back gate. This one is extra special. Highly recommended. Thank youBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

84 Charing Cross Road. A correspondence between a buyer in the US and bookstore in the UK and the friendship which ensued over the years.
A re-read of a book I had read years ago and was delighted to re-visit this "old friend." It shows how books can bring strangers to friends, and is well written with humor and a touch of pathos.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
