‘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.’

‘Besides being so attractively produced, they are usefully portable . . .’

‘The back copies I ordered arrived safely this week, and now I have something to read while in a long supermarket queue when the customers in front are fiddling around looking for small change in the bottom of a capacious bag. Besides being so attractively produced, they are usefully portable.'

‘A pleasure to handle . . .’

‘I was really delighted with my sample copy of Slightly Foxed. The magazine is a pleasure to handle, and the articles, while being scholarly and informative, are written to interest the reader rather than to display the author’s erudition.’

‘I have read every issue . . .’

‘I have read every issue since you first started publishing to date, and have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. They led me off onto various trails and excursions as each one seemed to entice me to read some more of this or that authors, surely the mark of a supremely successful ‘Real Readers Quarterly’?’

‘It is a marvellous journal . . .’

‘Thank you for sending the books so efficiently and in such good condition. Bit by bit I intend to order them all and then subscribe. It is a marvelous journal which I have been reading both at the London Library and Brooks’s. I have also just had the library at Westminster School, where I work, order them and apparently they were hand-delivered. Really wonderful business you have!’

‘I am coming out of my mourning . . .’

‘A good London friend who was visiting in New York recently, and I, were commiserating about the current black hole in the world of books, publishing and bookstores. So he felt I was ready for Slightly Foxed which I had never heard about! I feel I am coming out of my mourning. I just wish the English Pound/US Dollar was more friendly and then I would purchase all the back copies. I have already alerted friends in South Africa and family in Australia that you exist – we can’t believe we did not know of your existence.’

‘In every issue I find happiness . . .’

‘In every issue I find happiness in finding someone new or something unread by an author I already know – or an affirmation of one of my loved ones. This sends me to Amazon or ABE and keeps our mailman busy.’
