Amber's 25th anniversary as Editor. John T. Amber deserves a place of honor. In the early 1950s he took over Gun Digest and made it the publication of record for this business. Getting an article in Gun Digest was the sign that you had arrived. Amber was highly knowledgeable, a fine editor, and he had a nose for talent. He was also a gun enthusiast in the truest sense. If you ran into the average gun hobbyist at the NRA convention who'd seen something interesting, he'd tell you what it was and give you the booth number. Amber would clutch your arm in a death grip and drag you there. When he died, he left a barn attic literally filled with rare, and beautiful firearms. John T. Amber served as the longest-running editor of Gun Digest from 1951 to 1979. Since 1962, the publication has presented the annual John T. Amber Literary Award for outstanding gun writing of the year. Gun Digest Media is an American publisher specializing in firearms, shooting, ammunition reloading and concealed carry magazines and books. Its publications include Gun Digest Magazine and the Gun Digest Annual. The brand was founded in 1944 with the release of its annual book, making Gun Digest one of the oldest firearms-specific publishers in the nation. Gun Digest is a sister publication to RECOIL, RECOIL Offgrid, RECOIL Carnivore, and Blade Magazine. The brand was founded by Follett Publishing Co., a former book publisher in Chicago, which recognized a gap in the post-war firearms publishing market. The inaugural Gun Digest annual provided comprehensive information and reviews on firearms, establishing itself as a trusted resource for firearm enthusiasts.
