title: Old Books, Rare Friends: Two Literary Sleuths and Their Shared Passion
author: Madeline B. Stern
description: Like <i>84, Charing Cross Road</i>, Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern's charming bibliocentric memoir is as much about relationships as it is about books. <i>Charing Cross</i> chronicled the decades-long epistolary friendship between American book lover Helene Hanff and Frank Doel, the equally devoted British bookseller in the London shop from whom she bought many of her treasures. Rostenberg and Stern's book once again proves how a passion for great literature can make for fast friends. And in their case, these two octogenarians occupy the same geographical space, sharing both their professional and private lives.
