Rating: 4/5 84 Charing Cross Road Synopsis Has letter writing become a thing of the past? I believe it is an art form that is quite powerful when it comes to adding value and I’ve laid out three reasons why. Reading 84 Charing Cross Road, I longed for that type of correspondence. Even with postcards or birthday cards, there’s something special about having something physical in your hand that isn’t in the Cloud.
