About this Item

A very bright clean copy, now in protected jacket, signed "For Joe's little sister Sue from one of Joe's admirers Helene Hanff (with thanks for liking my books so much. Just don't forget you stole them from Joe!)" to the half title page. This is a record of a love affair between a lady and a shop. The shop was Marks & Co dealing in rare and secondhand books, the lady was a merry New Yorker who didn't believe in being impersonal. Instead of sending orders for books she wrote letters to Frank Doel, the manager, and then to members of his staff and his family as well. The correspondance ended only with Frank Doel's death, which was followed by the closing of Marks & Co. The book was made into a wonderful film staring Anne Bancroft as Helene Hanff and Anthony Hopkins as Frank Doel. Seller Inventory # 000913
