Any vacuum tube era radio repair people out here?  I have some questions.

I have a fair number of books in my collection from the John F. Rider
publishing company.  Many, perhaps most, of these books are by John F. Rider,
especially during the 30's.  Is anyone familar with this publishing company 
and it's history?  Is it still in existence? I know that John Rider was born
in 1900.  Is he still alive?  Anyone met him personally?
How in the world did he manage to write so many books in such a short time?
How were Rider publications perceived as compared to Sam's and Audel?  
What were the typical references used for repair work? For education?
