Put a Stamp on It!

In celebration of letter writing, this month we're designing a stamp for each letter of the alphabet, starting of course with A—for address. Because without it, your letters, cards, and notes go nowhere!

The ABCs of Letter Writing / A= Address

---

And a book recommendation:
84, Charing Cross Road

It's the true-life correspondence between New York City writer Helene Hanff and Frank Doel of Marks & Co., Booksellers, London.

My copy is just under a hundred pages and it's a charming little book. It begins when Hanff writes to Marks & Co. looking for an out-of-print book. Their letters span 20 years (1949-1968).

Through their letters Hanff, (a brash, no-nonsense writer) and Doel, (the rather reserved book dealer), build a warm and touching friendship.

It's well worth the read.
