‘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.’

‘It will remind you of what it really means to be a reader . . .’

‘What makes Slightly Foxed: The Real Reader’s Quarterly so great? As I perused the latest issue, I realized that in many ways it’s exactly what I wish my blog to be, and what I appreciate about other blogs. Each issue contains around a dozen and a half essays in which readers of many stripes celebrate books that have moved, enlightened, impressed, or astonished them. The selection of titles is wonderfully eclectic, blithely leaping over barriers of genre, subject matter, language, geography, target age, and publication date . . .

‘ . . . it couldn’t be more bookish if it tried.’

‘For those bibliophiles who yearn for a whiff of an era when a chap wanting something bound in leather on the Charing Cross Road looked to Marks & Co., not Ann Summers, Slightly Foxed will come as manna from heaven . . . it couldn’t be more bookish if it tried.’ Guardian

‘Quarterlies that may make you begin to drop names like Thucydides and Thoreau with aplomb . . .’

We were already delighted when the McLean & Eakin bookshop in Petoskey, Michigan started stocking Slightly Foxed and now, with this glowing recommendation from bookseller Julie, we’re even happier!
‘S.F. is published in the U.K. It is of the perfect size for reading in a cramped fisherman’s tent, train or a comfortably squashy bed. The lay-out is stylish and the small magazine has a lovely tactile quality. The illustrations are wonderfully clever . .

A red-letter day in my literary world . . .

The first week of September contains a red-letter day in my literary world, as does the beginning of December, March, and June. Four times a year the new edition of Slightly Foxed drops through the letter box and the rest of that particular day is given over to delving in and out of its 96 luxurious cream pages and making a list of out-of-print books that I never before knew existed but which I now MUST READ. Issue number 47, Autumn 2015, which arrived last week is no exception . . .

‘Pocket-sized little chunks of perfection’

‘A memoir written in the late 1920s and recently republished in the beautiful Slightly Foxed Paperback series. The book tells of Bell’s move, at 20 years old, from bohemian Battersea to a small farm in Suffolk. Bell is a favourite of mine, and his nature writing is immediately transporting. It doesn’t hurt, either, that the Slightly Foxed Paperbacks, pocket-sized little chunks of perfection, are the most beautifully made paperbacks I’ve ever had the pleasure to own. They’re made by a traditional small press in Yorkshire to standards that make reading on a device seem like the most depressing possible compromise.’ On Adrian Bell’s Corduroy
