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 . . .

‘Fondling its delightfully crisp, cream pages you can almost feel corduroy patches sprouting from your elbows’

‘A great present for someone who likes books’

Slightly Foxed is a handsome handful of thick creaminess, always with lovely covers, and would make a great present for someone who likes books, and for who you can never think of a remotely suitable present. The magazine is rather like that voice you always hope to hear behind you in old bookshops . . . Ah now that’s an interesting one’

‘Strike a blow for good reading’

Slightly Foxed offers a chance to discover about eighty books a year that most of us have never heard of but all of us will wonder about. Strike a blow for good reading everywhere and order a sample issue. It’s all about books, really good books . . . I couldn’t be happier to have found this magazine’

‘I continue to sing the praises of this publication . . .’

‘Again, another great read, despite being only halfway through. The quality of the articles has prompted me to make a couple of purchases, but I always have a niggling doubt as to whether I want to read the books because of the books themselves, or really because of the way the books are presented by your writers. Please do not take this as a criticism, only as an observation. I continue to sing the praises of this publication to friends and family etc, and I know that a good friend of mine recently subscribed based on my relentless “going on about it”. I love the look and feel of the mag and particularly love the cover design. Marvellous.’
