What excellent company you are!

I have been devoted to your podcast for over a year; it could be improved only by being more frequent. Every book I have ordered from you has been a delight; nothing disappoints. I receive your emails with pleasure, and that’s saying a lot. Slightly Foxed is a source of content . . . ’

May News from Slightly Foxed

May News from Slightly Foxed

Summer is almost upon us at Slightly Foxed. The printers in Yorkshire and office foxes in Hoxton are knee-deep in boxes of crisp creamy quarterlies, newly minted books and mounds of bubble-wrap and packing tape in preparation for the dispatch of the summer issue of the quarterly. Subscribers can look forward to receiving it towards the end of the first week of June, and with it be transported to Mandalay with Justin Marozzi, across the channel with Joanna Kavenna, into the world of Whigs with Michael Holroyd, to Nowhere with Travis Elborough . . . but we mustn’t give too much away!

‘A charming read, delightfully written . . .’

‘I have just finished reading the Slightly Foxed Edition of Period Piece by Gwen Raverat. A charming read, delightfully written. What a contrast the life of the "Upper Classes" was in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with my own upbringing in a mining family in a South Yorkshire mining town in the 1930s. Fascinating.’

‘You have been tempting us successfully for years . . .’

‘You have been tempting us successfully for years with wonderful books with words. Now you are tempting us with books without words, your beautiful notebooks are . . . well, beautiful . . . so much so that without a stiff drink I don’t think I'll be able to mark them in any way (not even with a small doodle).’

‘An oasis of beautiful words . . .’

'I absolutely love receiving my Slightly Foxed. To me it’s an oasis of beautiful words and a calm, gentle world to retreat to. I savour each edition and never, never throw them out. I reluctantly loan them to friends and jealously guard their return. Thank you for this precious gift in my life.'

‘You have won me as a subscriber . . .’

'I find your organization very charming. The books come really from another era . . . The authors you have, the pieces you do, really was the type of writing in New England in the late '60s/beginning '70s. You people have preserved it! Thus you have won me as a subscriber. I thank you for your excellent selections, stay charming English, as you are.'

- J. Mikelonis, Germany

‘What delightfully personal communication. . .’

'What delightfully personal communication, few these days and far between . . . To be courteously addressed now - by persons, no less, with real names rather than mere titles – goes a long way to restoring trust.'

- M. Llinares, Devon

‘Keep up the high level of publishing . . .’

'Many thanks for reminding me to renew my good lady’s subscription, thus redeeming me from a year’s supply of cold shoulders and cold teas . . . Keep up the high level of publishing, and I will continue to spread the Slightly Foxed “Gospel” to all.’

- J. T. A. McGorry, Cheshire

‘Utter genius. . .’

'I have just renewed my subscription online and had completely forgotten to do so earlier. Quite how I forgot a publication which gives me as much pleasure as Slightly Foxed is beyond me. Not only do I read each copy cover to cover when it arrives, I keep all the past issues and regularly delve into them. When my daughters were teenagers, the highest accolade they ever bestowed was to call something "utter genius". You certainly are – thank you.’

- A. Smout, Isle of Wight

‘It looks lovely . . .’

‘I appreciate the wonderful books . . .’

'Your gracious letter, missing me as a subscriber, touched my heart. A renewal form is enclosed. For a while, feeling I had too much to read and too little money, I thought to deny myself Slightly Foxed, but, ah, I would be sorry. Certainly it’s unique, and I also appreciate the wonderful books you have been bringing back into print.'
