R.I.P. { Jim Baen

Jim Baen is a founder of a publishing company that is ubitqueous for Sci-Fi readers. I have read many, many, many books that were published by Baen Books. Not all of them were good, but Baen published a wide variety. He was also progressive in his approach to media, releasing books freely in electronic form feeling that it will boost printed sales.

RIP

I got my first rejection slip from Baen. I wasn't that bummed about it. I was just happy to have been read at all back then.

Wow...sad news. :(
