Quotes
Add a Quote"And whaddaya think I dramatized? John Donne eloping with the boss's daughter out of Walton's Lives. Nobody who watches television has the slightest idea who John Donne was, but thanks to Hemingway everybody knows No Man Is An Island, all I had to do was work that in and it was sold. So that's how John Donne made the 'Hallmark Hall of Fame' and paid for all the books you ever sent me and five teeth." -May 3, 1953

This book is about self-education, in Hanff's case she found Q's list of books she should read, and Doel found the books for her. This book is also about friendship, bookselling, and writing. The funny thing is that the publisher published her address almost on every other page, so that when the book first came out, many people wrote to her. What a spirit. What a friendship. What a gem.Read the sequel - The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street.
A delightful, witty read. Read it with great joy all in one sitting.
A series of letters between a New York TV writer/rare book lover with an alcohol problem to a seller of rare books in post-war London. Letter writing at its best and absolutely charming.
