(1947- ) US book dealer – as The Fine Books Company in Rochester, Michigan since 1982 – collector and Bibliographer who began to publish work of genre interest with the Ballantine Books study Ballantine Books: The First Decade: A Bibliographical History & Guide of the Publisher's Early Years (1987). He also assembled uncollected early work by Arthur C Clarke as Childhood Ends: The Earliest Writings of Arthur C Clarke (coll 1996 chap). This slim volume's contents are taken from The Huish Magazine, school magazine of the Richard Huish Grammar School in Taunton, Somerset, to which Clarke contributed – sometimes pseudonymously – from 1932, when he was 14 and a pupil, until 1938. Besides purely school-related pieces the material includes articles on Space Flight and even some light-hearted sf.
Aronovitz received the Sam Moskowitz Archive Award in 2015. [DRL]
