The fox is out of the bag. The Winter issue has reached subscribers and shops, and brings news to a wider audience that Slightly Foxed has now got its own bookshop. We look forward to welcoming you to Gloucester Road or, if that’s not convenient at the moment, please do get in touch by letter, phone or email. We are very happy to help with Christmas present suggestions, both old and new.
The shop has just taken delivery of its first wood engravings. These are supplied by the Society of Wood Engravers which is celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of its re-launch this year. We are delighted to support living artists in this way and to act as a gallery for their extraordinary art.
We have also added Penguin tea towels to our stock and are particularly excited by the Great Penguin Bookchase which is a board game the company has produced to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the introduction of Penguin paperbacks. It’s hours of fun, beautifully designed and something of a snip at £29.95. Just the thing for family get-togethers this season . . .
We’re also having fun planning the shop’s New Year facelift and have been thrilled to hear nice things about both the shop and SF from the literary world.
