‘A great favourite is the brilliant quarterly Slightly Foxed. For the sort of people who carry ancient Penguins in their pockets and, incidentally, a great present for those who love books.’
Financial Times

‘Slightly Foxed is a quarterly magazine for people who love books. The concept is simple: every issue (heavy paper, modest trim size, collectible) is made up of essays about books that the writers have deeply enjoyed, often highlighting authors who aren’t widely known. The writers of the essays range from famous novelists to people with no professional literary background to speak of. What they have in common is page-turning prose, and appreciation for the rewards that can come from reading a good book. I’ve been reading Slightly Foxed for over a decade. I can’t think of a more joyful gift for a book lover.’
Jo Rodgers, House & Garden

‘The reach is broad, the subjects and writers covered various . . . I know you will love it . . . You want this in your life. You will thank me. You can give Slightly Foxed to almost ANYONE for Christmas and they will be thrilled beyond measure.’
Raffaella Barker
‘Slightly Foxed is like a bookish friend, who, guiding you round their party, leaves you in the capable hands of various learned friends.’

‘Two rich recent discoveries – both published by Slightly Foxed Editions’

The Empress of Ireland is the novelist and screenwriter Christopher Robbins’s account of his friendship with the most successful forgotten Irish film director of all time, Brian Desmond Hurst . . . The book, simply, is a masterpiece, and its neglect is as inexplicable as that of its subject. Still Life by Richard Cobb, first published in 1983, is a memoir of a Tunbridge Wells childhood. Cobb, historian and Francophile, seems to have had a photographic memory, and his memoir is both an uncannily vivid resurrection of past times . . .

The shocking story of Charles and Mary Lamb: Slightly Foxed podcast reviewed

This story might have made for lurid telling, but the podcasters let James set it out plainly before interjecting with pertinent questions and steering the discussion to the Lambs’ work. The respectful quietness of Slightly Foxed is one of its virtues. Where other podcasts suffer from a crescendo of competing voices, this is steady and understated and, yes, all the cosier for being so.

‘I’ve only just received my first issue, and my “to-read” list has already become much longer.’

‘An attractive flyer slipped out from the pages and grabbed my attention. It was about Slightly Foxed, a British quarterly literary magazine “for literary nonconformists.” I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced love at first sight, but this came close. I was hooked even before I made it to the Slightly Foxed website . . . I’ve only just received my first issue, and my “to-read” list has already become much longer.’

‘Reading this book is like returning to an old friend’

Reading this book is like returning to an old friend. I remember reading it as a child . . . Slightly Foxed have re-issued my old friend in a gorgeous new edition – their books are always a pleasure to read. Beautifully bound, with the original illustrations by C. Walter Hodges (the Roman watchtower on page 216 is really evocative of an abandoned outpost of Empire north of the Wall) . . .

A Country Doctor’s Commonplace Book by Philip Rhys Evans is on its way to be this year’s novelty bestseller . . .

‘After a long career as a Suffolk GP, Dr Philip Rhys Evans may well be astonished to find himself lined up as a surprise literary hit this winter. But a short book compiled by the now-retired doctor with his wife Christine detailing the funny, bizarre and poignant situations he has encountered over his many years in practice is now a novelty Christmas title attracting glowing reviews . . .’
