		Rather, it is the gently teasing nature of her relationship with Doel which shines out, the feistiness of the young American lady chaffing against the more reserved nature of the quiet, polite English gent, as they read their way through the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
		On her death, the Times said tartly, "Seldom has a writer sailed to literary fame in so slender a craft." It is true that 84 CXR is a very slim tome.

		Before 84, there were small essays on browsing for books in old bookshops in various anthologies but this was the first book that recorded — wittily, affectionately and accurately — what books really meant to a passionate reader.
		First published in 1971 as a slim, elegant volume of 86 letters (from 1949-1969), 84 is the account of a New York bibliophile's love affair with an antiquarian bookshop in London.
		Being used to the dead-white paper and stiff cardboardy covers of American books, I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch." 84 Charing Cross Road was subsequently made into a hit play and then a successful movie in 1986, starring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins.
