Here’s to many more excellent editions of SF!
Everyone who’s anyone is reading Slightly Foxed. They used to think that SF stood for science fiction, or even Stephen Fry. But not any more.
Discovering SF was rather like meeting someone for the first time but feeling that somehow you’ve met before. Some sixty years ago when an art student opting for book illustration as a main subject I loved the handling of well produced books – that must have been when I met you before!
Thank you – you are doing a great job! Hope to visit you one of these days.
My husband and I are now thoroughly addicted to Slightly Foxed and fight (in a subtle and civilized manner) over each issue when it arrives.
Slightly Foxed leads to so many absorbing avenues of interest that I am overwhelmed with choices of books, authors and associated warrens to plunge down. A wonderful publication; you are to be congratulated on organizing such inspired, gracious, civilized, diverse and intriguing contributions.
