‘I can’t tell you how much I enjoy Slightly Foxed. It fills a deep need for intelligent conversation about books. I read every piece and treasure every issue.’

 

Slightly Foxed is the quarterly magazine that introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine. Every issue of Slightly Foxed includes fiction and non-fiction, books that have stood the test of time and have left their mark on the people who write about them. It’s an eclectic mix, and our contributors are an eclectic bunch too – some well-known, others not so, but all passionate about sharing their enthusiasm for a book or author.

The Completely Foxed Collection is the ultimate present for a bibliophile, or for oneself. Invest in a full set of Slightly Foxed issues 1–80, 2004–2023, along with twenty smart grey slipcases in which to keep them.
