The story in The Telegraph profiles Slightly Foxed, a second-hand bookshop, publisher of a popular beautifully produced reader’s quarterly and publishers of Slightly Foxed Editions.
“Slightly Foxed have stepped aside from the ebook stampede to publish beautifully bound hardbacks that recall a bygone age – and sell like hot cakes,” and too boot they only publish memoirs that are out of print but not out of copyright, and all include new prefaces that are reproduced in the quarterly magazine.
Each clothbound pocket hardback includes colored endpapers, headband, tailband and a silk ribbon marker. Each is published in a limited, numbered edition of 2,000 copies and retail for about $20.
Slightly Foxed has clearly developed a model worth keeping a close eye on.
