‘Everything about it is just right . . .’

‘Unusual and also stimulating, educational, amusing, informative and very well written. On top of which it is beautifully produced, lovely paper and layout and super illustrations. I think that in producing a quarterly you have got it just right. Any more frequent and it would be too much to cope with. One needs time to return and re-read some of the books in your bibliography and text references.’

‘I absolutely love receiving my Slightly Foxed. To me it’s an oasis of beautiful words and a calm, gentle world to retreat to. I savour each edition and never, never throw them out. I reluctantly loan them to friends and jealously guard their return. Thank you for this precious gift in my life.’

‘“The gentlest of reminders”, “We do hope you’ll feel tempted”, it’s all so breathtakingly seductive. How could any man refuse? Thoroughly beguiled and utterly foxed.’
