The style of Hanff's writing reminds me of Ms. Brownlow. And as Ms. Brownlow is in New York, and I used to be a bookseller, and we love books, it's all very fitting.
Above is the edition I have--good thing I'm reading a second hand copy, which feels right. I almost ordered the second book, where Hanff goes to London, but it's a good thing I didn't--it's included in this volume. Do you see any indication of that? Neither do I. I only found out when looking at the rights page, and had to flip through the volume to find where it starts.
Now I know to get Anne Bancroft when we make a movie of Ms. Brownlow's life.

Sounds like a good book. Think I'll check for it at the library. I like books that are written as letters.
The book S by John Updike is a book that's a series of the funniest letters I've ever read.
Sounds like a fun read.
You do know that our Annie died back in 05, yes? ... getting her to come out of retirement might be a little tricky.
sounds like it's right up my alley. I'm definitely going to check into it.
JJJ - Will have to take a look at the Updike
widder - I didn't say it would be easy!
