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.
