London 1960–1963 - Peter Campbell - Cafe Royal Books
Peter was first and foremost a typographer, and only occasionally worked as a photographer in a professional capacity. His longest-standing professional association was with the London Review of Books, for which he was the resident designer from its founding in 1979 until his death in 2011. He was responsible for commissioning the photographic covers of the LRB throughout the 1980s, usually calling on photographers he knew (including Chris Killip, Homer Sykes and David King) when a portrait or reportage was needed. On a few occasions they were unavailable, he would step in.

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."
