After publishing 84 Charing Cross Rd, Hanff finally got to visit London, meet many of her pen pals in person, and geek out about being in the same places Shakespeare and other beloved writers had been.
This brought back fond memories of my week in London. So much history, everywhere! Written in diary format, this takes you right there, into her silliest encounters and deepest awe.

Faranae I was so charmed by 84 Charing Cross road, I was afraid to read this. I'm glad to hear it's holding up, so I can maybe go read it after all. 50m
willaful @Faranae I think I related to this one even more because I don't really share her tastes in literature but I definitely share the desire to connect with literary history. I don't think there's anything horribly dated about it. 39m
