Helene Hanff Quotes
All The Rare-book Dealers Regaled Me With Stories Of The Trade. They Told Me That After The War There Were Too Many Books And Not Enough Bookshop Space, So All The Dealers In London BURIED Hundreds Of Old Books In The Open Bomb Craters Of London Streets. Today The Buried Books Would Be Worth A Fortune If They Could Be Recovered, If The New Buildings Could Be Torn Down And The Rebuilt Streets Torn Up. I Had A Sudden Vision Of An Atomic War Destroying Everything In The World, Except Here And There An Old Book Lying Where It Fell When It Was Blasted Up Out Of The Depths Of London.
