‘May you go on for decades to come . . .’

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.

‘I find your organization very charming. The books come really from another era . . . The authors you have, the pieces you do, really was the type of writing in New England in the late ’60s/beginning ’70s. You people have preserved it! Thus you have won me as a subscriber. I thank you for your excellent selections, stay charming English, as you are.’

‘Love the format. Love the content. Love the choices. Love belonging to the Foxy family inspiring me to seek out and enjoy many older buried treasures. You have provided the space to do so. Many grateful thanks.’
