‘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.’

‘Keep up the great, great work . . .’

‘I believe I am a bit of a latecomer to this fabulous prize – I only picked up Issue 4 for the first time back in December, and I can’t help wishing that I’d cottoned on earlier . . . I already had a nasty addiction to book-buying before you came along . . . you’ll be happy to know that you’ve definitely made things worse! I love the magazine and can hardly wait for Issue 5. Keep up the great, great work.’

‘An antidote to all that uniformity of taste and style . . .’

‘I love Slightly Foxed, it is like stepping into a bookshop that offers all sorts of intriguing goods – some memories, some forgotten friends, some new. To me SF offers an antidote to all that uniformity of taste and style – it offers individuality, imaginations and intelligence – you never know what you may find in its pages.’
