This was such a lovely little book! I had the great fortune to read the recently published Slightly Foxed edition. Which has the most divine cherry red cover and creamiest of pages. Like Hanff described in her novel, it is the perfect size to stick in one's pocket and take outside to read.

I can't praise this book enough! What a gem. I found myself laughing, and feeling all the emotions from start to finish. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves books, enjoys handwritten notes and witty banter from a lively and talented woman.
