Peter Ruber (September 29, 1940-March 6, 2014) was a United States author, editor and publisher. He had been an advertising executive, book publisher and, for the past two decades, a consultant and free-lance journalist for many leading business information technology magazines. He lived on Long Island, New York with his wife, three sons, three grandchildren and a mountain of books and literary papers. As publishing executive, he came to know and publish many books by Arkham House founder August Derleth between 1962–1971, some under his Candlelight Press imprint, and has been researching his former colleague's life and time for nearly forty years. Ruber became the editor for Arkham House in 1997, after Jim Turner left to found Golden Gryphon Press. Ruber is the author of ''The Last Bookman: A Journey into the Life and Times of Vincent Starrett: Journalist, Bookman, Bibliophile'' (NY: Candlelight Press, 1968; reprint Battered Silicon Dispatch Box, 1995) and editor of over 25 books. He has also done much research for a biography on August Derleth (as yet unpublished) and Seabury Quinn. He is editing for Battered Silicon Dispatch Box all of Vincent Starrett's works, with 22 of a projected 25 volumes already in print. In 2000 Ruber edited a collection of previously unpublished stories by H. Russell Wakefield for Ash-Tree Press. For the same publisher in 2003 he edited ''Night Creatures'' by Seabury Quinn. Ruber suffered a stroke in 2004 and his editorial duties at Arkham House lapsed due to this. Ruber died on March 6, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Remembering Peter Ruber, BSI )〕 ==References== * *(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.arkhamhouse.com/authors.htm ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Ruber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
