Alanson & Geccesse

Simor Alanson (born 1820) and Kristoff Geccesse (born 1825) are publishers in Tyneside. Under the name Alanson &amp; Geccesse (often abbreviated on the books to A&amp;G or A:G) they published many famous and successful books, including the popular Jobi the Jam Hengbeau series. They notably turned down a young Dai Thomas when he approached them with his idea for Jerry Cartwright the Sparkly Wizard Guy. When interviewed in 1987, Geccesse claimed he had many regrets about this decision, and would snap up the opportunity to go back in time and rectify it; when interviewed in 1994, Alanson dribbled and fell asleep.
