A true treasure
for all book lovers!! At first, I thought Hanff was a rude selfish woman, but
quickly learned to love her sarcastic humor.
Taking place when food rations were among their highest in London, Hanff
is an extremely unselfish person. She JUST loves her books. I could relate to a
lot of her feelings and relationships with her books. Her correspondence and
friendship with book seller, Frank Doel
which started over a request for a rare edition of a book spans over 20
years. This lovely novella, told through the letters written, will touch every
book lover and make you cry and laugh, sometimes at the same time. I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND THIS STORY!
