‘Long may you thrive!’

‘I am disappointed if I haven’t already got a couple of the books reviewed and seem to buy a couple more most quarters. You

have a good eye for an entertaining reviewer and many books, even if not ordered from Abe or Amazon, remain on a virtual wants list for

visits to (vanishing) second-hand bookshops. I feel that one of the ways that nature helps us cope with advancing years is to show

us that new things tend to be worse than what has gone before. Slightly Foxed is an exception.

Long may you thrive!’ M. Udal, Surrey
