‘I received the two books I ordered and, while I have only started to read one, I have to tell you how impressed I am with the physicality of the books themselves. So cleanly printed and easy to hold . . . Receiving things from you are like breaths of fresh air in an overly polluted world.’ D. Matheney, USA

 

‘Superb service – arrived before 11 a.m. this morning. I now look forward to reading the books.’ D. McKane, Gloucestershire

A World of Reading

The independent-minded quarterly that combines good looks, good writing and a personal approach. Slightly Foxed introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine.

20180423101212 Slightly Foxed April News: The Call of the Sea

The Call of the Sea

Inspired by the call of the sea, for this week’s newsletter we dived into the Slightly Foxed archives and fished around for something suitably watery. We floated past some very good pieces on Swallows and Amazons (Issue 18), Patrick O’Brian (Issues 40, 42, 44) and The Compleat Angler (Issue 54), but we were looking for something a little more unusual. A few more kicks and there it was: nineteenth-century fisherman on the east coast of Scotland, a lost love and plenty of adventure. So off we go to sea, with Galen O’Hanlon on Neil M. Gunn’s The Silver Darlings.
