‘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.’

‘Everything about it is just right . . .’

'Thank you so much for Slightly Foxed. Everything about it is just right, even down to the size, which is perfect for my bag. I do hate to go out without some good reading matter to hand.'

‘A little companion . . .’

'I received a sub for my birthday last year and have just renewed for three years. I can’t tell you how much I love SF. A little companion to take for reading on trains, waiting in queues or in the afternoon as the sun goes down. Reconfirms my view that England has the greatest collection of wonderfully eccentric over-educated people who every quarter demonstrate the benefits of a classical education. Only problem is you sending me broke as when I see mention of a book I haven’t heard of I get on the second hand book sites searching for it. Alas I find them and then buy them . . .'

‘My heart sings . . .’

'Like most people, I am incredibly busy, but my heart sings whenever SF arrives – the kettle goes on, my feet go up and I lose myself for a couple of hours. I never know what direction I’m going to be taken but I never cease to be delighted with your publications. I even re-read them!'

‘A heartwarming pleasure . . .’

'I join my voice to all those other enthusiasts. SF is a delight, a heartwarming pleasure. (Also the envelopes are somehow always just the right size for recycled use, which makes one feel good.)'

‘A wonderful travelling companion . . .’

'This time last year I was reading my then current SF in the garden of the Livingston Hotel at Victoria Falls! My pillow present one evening was a bookmark which then removes to my next, and subsequent, current copies - a wonderful travelling companion & a joy to own!'

- S. Butterworth, Tyne & Wear

‘I thought I’d pass on my congratulations . . .’

'As a journalist who appreciates that times are tough for us all in the world of speech, music and word, I thought I’d pass on my congratulations and hope that business is good for you. Once again I’m indebted to my friend, the poet John Horder, for telling me about Slightly Foxed.'

‘What a blessing Slightly Foxed is . . .’

'I hope you don't mind this rather personal note, but I really want you to know what a blessing Slightly Foxed is. Having only recently discovered you, you cannot believe the good you have done. My mother, who has always been a great reader and of literary bent, has just been diagnosed with cancer, a shock for us all. I introduced her to Slightly Foxed in hospital and it lifted her spirits dramatically. She is now at home coming to terms with things and so I've ordered these back copies to help keep her spirits up because she has devoured every edition I have. Every time I visit her she mentions what a delight your reviews are and how wonderfully written and charming. Thank you so much, you are bringing her true pleasure at a very bleak time.'
