‘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.’

‘I have missed you so much!’

‘I am 81 years old AND broke but I have missed you so much! The next four issues, please.’

‘Long may you thrive!’

'I am disappointed if I haven’t already got a couple of the books reviewed and seem to buy a couple more most quarters. You have a good eye for an entertaining reviewer and many books, even if not ordered from Abe or Amazon, remain on a virtual wants list for visits to (vanishing) second-hand bookshops. I feel that one of the ways that nature helps us cope with advancing years is to show us that new things tend to be worse than what has gone before. Slightly Foxed is an exception. Long may you thrive!’

‘Slightly Foxed should be the envy of the literary world!’

‘I couldn’t do without my subscription. I work in literary publishing, and have yet to come across a “list” so sublime as yours. I was delighted to find a copy of A Slender Reputation from a second-hand bookseller. I also look forward every season to the cover illustrations and note from the editors. Slightly Foxed should be the envy of the publishing/literary world!’

‘Very enjoyable reading . . .’

‘All the issues which I have received of Slightly Foxed have made very enjoyable reading. Usually I manage to discipline myself to one or two articles at a time and make the pleasure last over a few weeks. This time I have failed! All read in a few days and VERY VERY enjoyable. Thank goodness the days are drawing in and Autumn approaches! Thank you.’

‘Pleasure to folk across the sea . . .’

‘I mentioned the quarterly in a column I write for a newspaper in western Massachusetts – I thought you might like to know that you gave pleasure to folk across the sea . . .'

‘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.'

- R. Cordero, Kent

‘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.'

- R. Thompson, Dorset
