The sites listed below all have connections to the Antiquarian / Secondhand Book Trade and some have a more direct association with 84 Charing Cross Road.


Arts Etc Although Simon Harvey's excellent site is no longer maintained and updated it still provides useful information including pages on Helene Hanff, Virginia Woolf and Nick Drake and others. This link goes directly to the Helene Hanff page.
Cecil Court is a small side street off Charing Cross Road. Here you will find bookshops, art, music, stamp and map dealers. The shops here appear to have changed very little in the last 40 years and will provide the visitor with a glimpse of what life was like when Marks & Co traded just a short distance away.
Sheila Markham Rare Books From 1991 to 2004 Sheila Markham's series of interviews with Booksellers were published at regular intervals by The Bookdealer magazine. In 2004 a collection of these interviews appeared in book form (limited to 500 copies), a paperback edition was published in the autumn of 2007. After an absence of almost two years The Bookdealer was re-launched in April 2007 and it is hoped that Sheila Markham's fascinating 'potted biographies' will start to appear again. This link goes directly to the Interviews index.
The Bookdealer established 35 years ago as a weekly trade magazine was re-launched (after almost two years) in April 2007 as a monthly trade journal for the book trade.
Helene Hanff the definitive web site created and maintained by Angela Garry. The site is now ten years old and should be the first port of call for all HH fans.
The Book Guide provides an excellent resource for Antiquarian and Secondhand book buyers. Searchable lists of Bookshops, Fairs and Auctions in the UK plus online databases together with reviews and comments.

Cafe in the Crypt Anyone visiting Charing Cross Road or Cecil Court will find the excellent and atmospheric cafe in the crypt of St. Martin's in the Field church in Trafalgar Square well worth a visit.
