who kept Helene supplied with the obscure old books that she loved so much. Collections curated by 84 Charing Cross Road Books, IOBA Animals & Birds Antiques & Collectibles Archaeology Architecture Art & Design Automobiles &. This year marks the 51st anniversary of the publication of what may be the most unlikely New York Times bestseller ever: Helene Hanffs 84, Charing Cross. Her love of books, her humanity, and her blithe spirit are on display, as is the somewhat reserved and very British geniality of Frank Doel and the staffers at Marks & Co. Helene Hanff (1916-1997) was an antiquarian book freak in New York City who was thrilled to have a 20-year long-distance relationship by mail with the staff of a small book shop in London at 84, Charing Cross Road, namely, Marks & Co. The correspondence between Helene Hanff and the staff at the 84 Charing Cross Road book store are short and to the point letters about particular books, but the relationship that develops between characters is heartfelt and you can very easily put yourself in her shoes. 84, Charing Cross Road is a perhaps iconic epistolary opus and a minor delight for bibliophile readers. 10444 Charing Cross Rd, Los Angeles CA, is a Single Family home that contains 4367 sq ft and was built in 1955.It contains 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
