Introducing Slightly Foxed
the winter months?
In need of a tonic to get you through the winter months?
Then may we recommend Slightly Foxed ? Taken every three months, it stimulates, elevates and cheers. In fact many of our subscribers feel it should be available on the National Health Service.
In case you haven’t come across it, Slightly Foxed is a rather different kind of book review – more like a bookish friend, really, than a literary periodical. Companionable and unstuffy, each quarter it offers 96 pages of personal recommendations for books of lasting interest, old and new – the kind of good reads you knew you were looking for but somehow haven’t been able to find. It’s an eclectic mix, covering all the main categories of fiction and non-fiction, and our contributors are an eclectic bunch too. Some of them are names you’ll have heard of, some not, but they all write thoughtfully, elegantly and entertainingly.
We’ve been going for nearly eight years now, and readers frequently tell us that we’ve filled a gap in their lives, opening up new horizons, introducing them to hitherto unknown writers and reintroducing them to old favourites too. They love the way it’s written and the way it looks – delightfully illustrated, on elegant cream paper, and just the right size to slip into your bag or large pocket and ideal for reading in bed. They love our series of Slightly Foxed Editions too – beautifully produced little hardback reprints of classic memoirs that have been allowed to slip out of print, each available from us in a limited and numbered cloth-bound pocket edition of 2,000 copies.
So why not treat yourself, or someone you’re fond of, to a subscription this year? You really couldn’t be in better company.
