‘Thank you so much . . .’

‘Thank you so much for the summer poster. The little fox face peering (here she comes) through the digitalis just touched a chord. Thank you too, for Slightly Foxed – one day when I have no animal commitments I shall call and see if you need a willing ‘gofer’ cum slave.’

- N. Simon, London

‘You are definitely my Santa . . .’

‘When Slightly Foxed slips through the door, my excitement is greater than when my ‘Pandy’ was delivered, or my Rupert Bear annual was discovered in my Christmas pillow case. You are definitely my Santa: I’d happily leave a carrot for your reindeer and a mince pie for you. Thank you for much pleasure.’

‘An excellent magazine that I can’t resist . . .’

'I’d just like to say it’s not fair. The renewal reminder arrived and I decided I’ve got too many books, not enough time to read them, no more book shelf space, and can’t afford it, then foolishly I started to read Issue 16 and so here’s my cheque. It’s really not fair of you to go on producing such an excellent magazine that I can’t resist.'

‘Thank you for all the pleasure . . .’

'I felt I had to let you know how much I enjoyed the latest SF from the beautiful cover, to the exciting news about your reprints, and then the first article was about 1066, one of my favourite books. Thank you for all the pleasure and reading ideas you’ve given me over the past few years.'

- L. Baines, Australia

‘What I enjoy most is the feeling of community . . .’

'The latest issue is wonderful . . . I think what I enjoy most is the feeling of community. It’s like the moment when I request something from the library and find a waiting list for it – I get a warm feeling that somewhere there are others like me, enjoying the same books. Keep up the good work!!'

- S. Stock, Essex

‘What bliss!’

‘Suffering an enforced week off work and Slightly Foxed arrives . . . what bliss!! Time to enjoy it all in one sitting. Thanks for the quality of the magazine throughout the year; you have managed to uphold the high standards you set yourself from the start; it is much appreciated.’

‘The pieces are an excellent length . . .’

'True story: I was rattling in on Thames Link from Luton airport and my Easyjet flight from Inverness when a woman of a certain age – OK my age, maybe a year or two older – got in at somewhere like Harpenden. Greying, lightly tanned (the garden in France, I expect), sensible shoes, firm step and firm jaw . . . 50 years ago she would have been the vicar’s wife, now of course of ‘someone in the City.’ Only at Finchley Road did I notice she was reading the Autumn issue. And very engrossed too. At King’s Cross, she closed it (the pieces are an excellent length for such journeys), gazed with firm (again) satisfaction at the cover and then put it away in her (sensible) handbag. There you go!’

‘A club of discerning and eager book lovers . . .’

‘It is true to say when you subscribe to Slightly Foxed you do not just buy a ‘Literary Magazine’ you also join a Club. A Club of discerning and eager book lovers whose appetites are whetted but never completely assuaged by devouring the pages and ordering books not always read previously. The Autumn issue has just arrived. There is no need to disguise it. My wife knows her life would not be worth living if she tried to read it first.’

- J. Curtiss, Hampshire
