‘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.’

‘If the rules of ‘Desert Island Discs’ allow a periodical instead of a book . . .’

‘I'm not sure if the rules of 'Desert Island Discs' allow a periodical instead of a book; but if they do – and no doubt the people at Hoxton Square could arrange delivery by homing albatross – I'd go for a subscription to Slightly Foxed and ration myself, very strictly, to an article a week . . . And I know I'd still read it in one go the day it arrived.’

‘I know it’s planned, but it feels fortuitous and that’s quite an art . . .’

Exotic Subscribers

Businesslike people sometimes ask us about our ‘reader profile’ – who, they wonder, would be a ‘typical Slightly Foxed subscriber’. We find this impossible to answer, except to say that you all clearly love reading and have shown yourselves to be an exceptionally nice bunch of people – courteous, generous, loyal, and with a telling turn of phrase, judging by your letters.

‘Like a child in a sweet shop . . .’

‘I recently bought four books from you with the intention of giving them away for Christmas. That will still happen but rather like a child in a sweet shop I have read them all myself first. Particularly enjoyed Christabel Bielenberg’s account on life in Nazi Germany.’ N. Law, Suffolk
