CRB from 2005 to 2011

The article tells us:

"He founded Café Royal Books in 2005."
"For example, in 2012 Café Royal began publishing a series of books based loosely on documentary photography with links to Britain and Ireland."

This seems to imply that from 2005 to 2011 CRB was doing something other than, or less restricted than, publishing a series of books based loosely on documentary photography with links to Britain and Ireland. CRB's catalogue page lists these (incidentally showing that they continued to 2013), but describes them in just one short paragraph. (The Wayback Machine's scrapes of the website go back to early 2010; this "About" page from March '11 is more than averagely informative.) If there's more about them in any "RS", it would be good to summarize what it says. -- Hoary (talk) 11:49, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I remember "drawing based" zines and quite a number by Atkinson. I would be surprised if they received independent coverage, and expect to only find coverage in Atkinson discussing the history of the endeavour. -Lopifalko (talk) 12:25, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I suppose so. Unless perhaps there's a history of British zines (or similar) ... but I don't suppose that there is. The closest I've got is this, allegedly about CA and published in 2011; however, it's not there. And Wayback has been dutifully scraping "Nothing here, sorry" accounts of it for years. -- Hoary (talk) 03:25, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
