Arrows Studio Kingston, Jamaica 1993 - David Corio- Cafe Royal Books
Arrows Studio in 57C Windward Road, East Kingston, Jamaica had a reputation for producing dub plates and tough, hard hitting, digital dancehall reggae rhythms before the advent of downloads. Artists such as Major Mackerel (cover), Pan Head, (back cover), Lady Shabba (next page), Captain Barkey (this page) and many young aspiring artists would hang out in the studio’s yard all day in the hope that they may get called upon to record a tune or audition their latest song.

About Café Royal Books:
"Café Royal Books is the idea of Craig Atkinson, an artist and lecturer. Our first title was published in 2005.
Craig wanted to create a way to make artwork accessible to a wider audience. The solution needed to be small, functional, open to collaboration, affordable, and work independently of galleries. These ideas remain at the heart of what we do.
We’re a small family-run publisher based in England, next to the woodland, dunes, and windswept beaches of the North West coast — we’re always inspired by the vastness, calm and energy of this environment.
We make weekly publications, focussing on documentary photography linked to Britain and Ireland, printed and bound locally by a small 170 year old printing company. Libraries and museums around the world collect the books, so the work will remain preserved and accessible for many years. Our books don’t need batteries, or screens. We hope they will be used, create conversation and be passed down through family generations."
