‘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

‘Keep up the good work . . .’

‘Congratulations on your Index – and on the inclusion of the piece about Elizabeth Taylor in the last issue. It’s curious how for many years her work was little known – I remember Kingsley Amis deplored this neglect of “one of the finest novelists of her and our time.” She was pretty good at short stories too, of course. Keep up the good work.'

‘Your marvellous publication . . .’

‘As you can see, this is an order for one year’s subscription to Slightly Foxed as a birthday present for my son Henry. He is a publisher’s representative in Central London and every time he comes down for a Dorset weekend he tries to pinch any recent copies of your marvellous publication.'

‘It’s a happy day every quarter when SF falls through the letterbox . . .’

‘It was a fortunate day when I came across a copy of the third edition of Slightly Foxed in Blackwell’s Charing Cross Road . . . yet with its suggestions for further reading, it is yet another excuse for me to buy yet more books. The floors of this house groan with the weight of them, and the walls will soon buckle. However, as you all realise, once the pleasurable addiction has been acquired it’s not very easy to get rid of. Even if one wanted to. So, it’s a happy day every quarter when the latest edition of SF falls through the letterbox.’

‘I loved “Winning Through” in Slightly Foxed Issue 13 . . .’

‘I loved “Winning Through” in Slightly Foxed Issue 13. It brought back memories of sleeping under the dining room table in 1940-42, just in case some German bomber got lost and loaded its bombs over Banstead, which happened all of three times, I recall.’

- A. Verdie, Surrey

‘Thank you for a wonderful quarterly.’

‘I am now trying to do my best not to chain-read my new back issues all at once; it is not easy. When I order the next shipment I will ask you to put a handful of leaflets in, so I can spread the good word of Slightly Foxed. Again thank you for a wonderful quarterly.’

- S. Kjaer, Denmark
