Natur Cymru is a biannual journal about the wildlife and natural environment of Wales. It was launched as a quarterly in 2001 by the Wales Biodiversity Partnership, led by the Welsh government, as a journal of record and a channel for communicating its partners' work at an 'interested layman' level of engagement, "occupying the middle ground between a popular magazine and a scientific journal". The Welsh government withdrew its funding after no. 60 (Autumn 2016) as a result of UK government austerity cuts. No's 61-62 were financed by crowd-funding, after which it ceased publishing. No's 1-62 are available free-to-view on the Biodiversity Heritage Library website, at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/160237/. Natur Cymru was relaunched by the Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru (INCC) as a biannual with no. 63 (Winter 2020), and was still being published as of no. 69 (Winter 2023).

This series of bilingual Welsh/English biographies of Welsh 'greats' was aimed at secondary school children aged 11-13 / 11-15 years old. Several of the volumes are linked to anniversaries, including 'Hywel Dda, 928-1928' (1928), 'Daniel Owen, 1836-1895' (1936) and 'Thomas Charles, 1755-1814' (1955). From the forewords of several of the books, the Welsh text was the winner of the previous year's National Eisteddfod's University of Wales Press prize. The English translations were then provided by the original author, the University of Wales Press itself or some other, usually academic, translator. The subjects are overwhelmingly male, with 'Elizabeth Davies, 1789-1860' (1960) the only woman's biography currently listed here. It is not clear when the series started or finished, although the foreword (in Welsh only) to the Hywel Dda volume (1928) does feel introductory.

The book-lover's library is an unnumbered series published by Elliot Stock, one of the most prolific late 19th/early 20th century London publishers of books about books. It consists of twenty six titles, published between 1886 and 1902. Elliot Stock published another eleven titles on similar subjects in a similar format, published over the same period, between 1884 and 1894, and bound in the same green cloth covers, but which lack the owl and cock headpieces and tailpieces characteristic of the series. These eleven titles are listed here as 'Out of series'.

Besides the volumes published in England, further English-language Quick Reads are published in Wales, written by Welsh authors and celebrities, using the same branding as the campaign in England. This runs alongside the equivalent Welsh language series, Stori Sydyn. The campaign in Wales is funded by the Welsh government as part of the National Basic Skills Strategy. Wales appears to have published four volumes a year in each language, 2006-2015, reduced to two, 2016-2018. In early 2024 the Welsh Books Council website listed only two Welsh titles and two English titles for each of 2020 and 2022, with nothing for 2019, 2021 or 2023, suggesting a further drastic cut. However there are possibly some Welsh Quick Reads listed here among the recent English titles.

The England thread of Quick Reads was a collaboration amongst leading publishers, supermarkets, bookshops, libraries, government departments, the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE), Arts Council England, the BBC, World Book Day, National Book Tokens and more. This arrangement ended in 2018, due to a lack of funding. Jojo Moyes, an English journalist and romance novelist, offered the project an additional three years of funding. There has clearly been a post-2021 settlement as the programme is still active in 2024.

"Typographica was the name of a journal of typography and visual arts founded and edited by Herbert Spencer from 1949 to 1967. Spencer was just 25 years old when the first Typographica was issued. He also served as the editor of the journal. Typographica was produced in two series: the "Old Series" and the "New Series". Each series was published in sixteen issues." (Wikipedia).

The Penrose Annual was a London-based international review of graphic arts, printed nearly annually in 74 volumes from 1895 to 1982. "Penrose Annuals remain the quintessential record for the development of mass media, advertising, photography, design and typography throughout the 20th century; from the earliest incursions by radio, through to television and, in the latter volumes, references to electronic transmission of information that has given us the internet." (Wikipedia).

"Albion was founded 'to cater solely to the needs and interests of the private press printer' (1:1). Its modest dress belied a consistently well written, lively and informative journal. Published three times a year, it contained mainly news, short articles on presses contemporary or historical, and reviews. Besides the editors, the three regular contributors were Kenneth Hardacre, George Szirtes and John Gohorry. An engagingly quirky view, strongly rooted in the small press poetry scene, of the private press revival in the last quarter of the twentieth century."

Quick Reads are a series of short books by bestselling authors and celebrities. With no more than 128 pages, they are designed to encourage adults who do not read often, or find reading tough, to discover the joy of books. Quick Reads are a collaboration amongst leading publishers, supermarkets, bookshops, libraries, government departments, the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE), Arts Council England, the BBC, World Book Day, National Book Tokens and more. They are used as a resource for adult literacy teaching and have been used in Skills for Life and ESOL classes in colleges, community centres, libraries, prisons and workplaces across the country. They have also been used in hospitals, stroke recovery units, dyslexia centres, care homes, family learning groups, pre-schools, organisations working with homeless people and traveller communities, and Army and RAF bases.England and Wales run separate programmes, but use the same branding. Each year the Welsh programme publishes four books in English (Quick Reads, as in England), and four in Welsh (the Stori Sydyn series), all by Welsh authors or celebrities. Funding for this comes from the Welsh National Assembly via Basic Skills Cymru, part of the National Basic Skills Strategy.

"Industrial past is published quarterly by John Keavey of 17 Uplands, Skipton, N. Yorkshire (Tel. Skipton 5005) in association with local enthusiasts, with the object of meeting a public demand for a magazine of this type, and in so doing to earn a profit which will, once the magazine is established, be devoted to specific industrial archaeological projects." (Industrial past, Winter 1976, p. [24]). The magazine appears to have been first published in Spring 1974, with some issues collected into four-number volumes, e.g. vol. 3 no. 4 (Winter 1976), and some numbered sequentially, e.g no. 13 (Spring 1977).
