#AboutABook #YouGifted I used to grab copies when I found them I gave it so much. If people say they love books , it‘s hard to go wrong. It‘s not too long , has a fun & breezy style , yet it‘s sometimes serious. Great Britain struggled after WWII. Hanff starts a correspondence with a British bookstore owner to find books for her collection. Better prices than the USA. They probably didn‘t imagine it would become a wonderful friendship!

pickAfter hearing about this book for years, I finally bought a copy and read it yesterday. I enjoyed the epistolary format. It was a different and fun way to get to know the characters. I‘m glad I finally read it. 5/5 ⭐️
pickI needed something sweet, non-cloying, and warm this evening. I‘d read this years ago, liked it, and thought it would fit the bill. It did. I decided to listen to it. This version has several narrators, and they do an excellent job of catching the spirit of the book.
