Rider
Rider is a publishing imprint of Ebury Publishing, a Penguin Random House division, started by William Rider & Son in Britain in 1908 when it took over the occult publisher Phillip Wellby. The editorial director of the new list was Ralph Shirley and under his direction, they began to publish titles as varied as the Rider–Waite tarot deck and Bram Stoker's Dracula. The current Rider motto is "New Ideas for New Ways of Living", and books and authors on the list reflect this.
