History
WHAT
Beccon is a British small-press publisher specialising in science fiction, and does not produce "print-on-demand" editions, preferring to print one or two "real" books each year.
WHO
Beccon is a one-man-band - and is run by long-time SF fan Roger Robinson, who gratefully acknowledges assistance from friends and family over the years as the need has arisen.
WHEN
The first Beccon publication (a bibliography of Barrington J Bayley) was issued in August 1981. Since then more than 50 booklets &/or books have been produced.
WHY
The name "Beccon" was given to a series of SF conventions in the 1980s - and initially stood for "Basildon, Essex Crest Convention" after the hotel in which the conventions were held in 1981, 1983 & 1985 - and several early publications related to these conventions. Subsequently the name was taken over by one of the convention committee members, Roger Robinson, for his fledgling small press.
