84 Charing Cross Road – smARTfilms: Reel Reading

Past Event

From the 1970 book by freelance writer Helene Hanff about her 20-year correspondence with Frank Doehl, chief buyer at a used bookstore at this London address. New York City bibliophile Helene Hanff writes to a London antiquarian bookshop in search of titles she has not been able to turn up locally. The store manager responds politely to her chatty letter, and over the course of 20 years, a deep long-distance friendship evolves. Funny & poignant, this classic is ultimately a charming love story based on their common love for books.
