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!

The real question is, how much have you spent on Baen titles because of the "free" books they provide? Since you mention the CD, they got you with a hardback purchase :-) I agree that Jim Baen is a freaking genious, and a hell of a capitalist who understands all too well that his customers aren't thieves. Too bad noone in the record industry has his vision.

Most readers of this thread are probably already aware of this, but anyone who isn't should check out the Baen Free Library
