Our book this month is 84 Charing Cross Road by Helen Hanff. Using their 20 year correspondence it charts the friendship that developed between Hanff, who lived in New York, and Frank Doel, who was chief buyer at Marks & Co antiquarian booksellers in London. It began in 1949 when she contacted them in her search for obscure classics of English literature which she could not find in New York.
