‘I don’t believe I’ve ever read a more eclectic magazine than Slightly Foxed – articles from the 14th Britannica via C. P. Snow to Rex Stout. If I can resist the bibliography at the end before I begin to read an article, it can be like taking a chocolate from a box blindfold.’ – M. Bond, Barry

‘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 whom you can never think of a remotely suitable present, because you think they must have got everything in the book line they need.’

‘It will remind you of what it really means to be a reader . . .’

‘What makes Slightly Foxed: The Real Reader’s Quarterly so great? As I perused the latest issue, I realized that in many ways it’s exactly what I wish my blog to be, and what I appreciate about other blogs. Each issue contains around a dozen and a half essays in which readers of many stripes celebrate books that have moved, enlightened, impressed, or astonished them. The selection of titles is wonderfully eclectic, blithely leaping over barriers of genre, subject matter, language, geography, target age, and publication date . . .

‘Quarterlies that may make you begin to drop names like Thucydides and Thoreau with aplomb . . .’

We were already delighted when the McLean & Eakin bookshop in Petoskey, Michigan started stocking Slightly Foxed and now, with this glowing recommendation from bookseller Julie, we’re even happier!
‘S.F. is published in the U.K. It is of the perfect size for reading in a cramped fisherman’s tent, train or a comfortably squashy bed. The lay-out is stylish and the small magazine has a lovely tactile quality. The illustrations are wonderfully clever . .

‘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).’

- P. Turner, London

‘More than a touch of class . . .’

‘Congratulations on sustaining a publication of such high quality and quirky content together with more than a touch of class in its physical production.’

- J. Monteith, Renfrewshire

‘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.'

- L. Hughes, Australia

‘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

'Just to say very many thanks for another wonderful edition of Slightly Foxed. I have been a subscriber since the 4th or 5th edition, and each copy is a veritable treasure.'

- D. Kemp, Northhamptonshire

‘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
