Kay Craddock - Antiquarian Bookseller

I was recently asked to name the most exciting item I have sold during the past six decades as a bookseller. There is no easy or simple answer to the question . . .

A signed copy of Helene Hanff's classic memoir; 20 years of letters between Hanff and Frank Doel, the chief buyer for Marks & Co. antiquarian bookstore at 84, Charing Cross Road. What began as a request for rare books evolves into a warm, witty relationship spanning two decades.
