Slightly Foxed


Slightly Foxed
The Real Readers Quarterly
Quarterly
UK
Now here is a lovely little publication! Slightly Foxed, the title referencing the brownish tinge old books sometimes get along its edges (called foxing), is a British publication about old - or should I say mature - and often out of print books, but also the stories and authors behind them. Does that sound a bit quirky? Oh, it definitely is, in a very British sort of way, but it is also heavenly if you love books, especially old ones. With ivory acid-free paper, intricate pencil illustrations, and laid out like a book, of course, with a table of contents, chapters and footnotes, it is reminiscent of that treasure you found hiding in the stacks of a used bookstore. Slightly Foxed is quite a rare find in the US, so get it while you can! Take it home, brew yourself a cuppa, find a comfy chair, and enjoy.
