Helene Hanff
When Helene Hanff makes an innocent inquiry about the possibility of purchasing hard-to-find books through Marks and Co., Booksellers, she begins a 20-year love affair with Frank Doel, the proper English bookseller who answers her letter and sends along her first order in the fall of 1949.
They are two very unlikely correspondents: she a cranky Jewish New Yorker who writes TV scripts and lives in a messy apartment on East 95th Street; he a determinedly courteous middle-class Englishman who sends her beautifully bound and often obscure antiquarian books from the shop he manages on Charing Cross Road in London.
The letters, written between 1949 and 1969, capture the period and pay tribute to the special kind of reader who treasures a well-worn classic.

I love epistolary books (Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society is one of my faves as well) and kept forgetting this is non fiction while reading it! It is lighthearted, lovely and bittersweet when you get to the end. I'm not much of a crier reading books but this one did get me a little teary eyed. I do wish there was more in between on what all these real life people were doing in their lives those 20 years these letters span. I gave the story 4 stars in that case because I wish there was a bit more.
Lovely and bittersweet
