I corresponded with the subject over email to clarify a few points that seemed contradictory from the sources. This isn't Wikipedia:Verifiable, of course, but may be useful.

... When you do get a moment - there is no deadline - if you could also glance over the bibliography section of the article.
I've scoured the Internet for books you've written and am, on the one hand, not sure I have gotten them all, while on the other hand, am not sure I have not inserted entries that should not be there. It would be nice if you could resolve some of the uncertainty.
Specifically, Artnet seemed sure that Absinthe (1988) was your first book. Zorro (1971) you only illustrated, correct? But what about Interviews with Master Photographers (1977)? Were you also more of an illustrator, or did Artnet get it wrong or ? Also, were all the entries I put there really books, or would some of them be more pamphlets for museum shows? In other words, when you write that you have written 12 non-fiction books, what list do you have in mind?

Dear Mr. Ruban,
All good questions.
INTERVIEWS (1977) was my first book, co-authored with James Danziger (now a famous photo dealer with Danziger Projects in NYC and author of a big book on Cecil Beaton). ZORRO (1971) was a childrens's book written by my father and merely illustrated by me. The came ABSINTHE (1988), and the rest of my books.
The book on Diebenkorn was an essay for a hardback catalogue that included two other essayists; the essay on Valentin POPOV was for a big hardback book on Popov. I think we can list them as books (which means I've written more books than I thought!) The 2 books on artist John Register were real books, as was the book on artist Mark Stock.
