Baen Books is my favorite publishing house - I'll give things with their logo a glance when the cover would otherwise have discouraged me. Their recent republishing of classic science fiction has been a great boon for me.
I hope he makes a recovery, he's really influenced SF for the better.
God be with you, Jim. You've provided me with a LOT of pleasureable reading through your bevy of excellent writers.
Prayers for him and family.
God bless'em.
Read many a Baen book...
My God, I'm getting old. I remember when Baen was running Ace Books. (He wound up having to settle up with a bunch of authors his predecessors had ripped off.)
Damn, Damn, another of the Astounding SF goes down the tubes, who is going to pick up the Campbell cloak.
Wow. Prayers for him and his family. Along with Ben Bova, one of my favorite editors/writers.
God's speed Jim.
Prayers up for you and yours.
Thank you sir!
Mr. Baen's captaincy of Baen Books is fantastic! Innovation! Placing complete books from series authors on a CD in the back of some of the later Honor Harrington (David Weber) hardback is genius. Providing a free area on the website with whole books available in multiple and accessible electronic formats, genius! Creating a way to get EBooks weeks before the hardcopies hit the shelves, soooper genius!
Jim you have more to to do, FIGHT!
"Let's be about it."

Our thoughts are with him!
Dear Friends of Jim Baen and Baen Books, At this time we regret we are unable to give you positive news regarding Jim's condition. As many of you know, last Monday Jim suffered a stroke. The doctors describe it as a massive bilateral stroke in the thalamus. Jim has not regained consciousness and his condition has become severe. He is resting comfortably now, and appears to be in no pain; however the doctors' prognosis is grave. We know that very many people care for Jim and have been hoping and praying for a positive outcome, but we wanted to share this information with you, as so many have asked and expressed great concern. Jessica Baen & Toni Weisskopf
I hope for a miracle but it don't look good...
Anyone who welcomes prayers should surely receive them. Mine are on the way for both him and his family.
Prayers up! BTT.
