Jim Baen R.I.P.
I just heard that Jim Baen (SF editor) died on the 28th. Seems there's an eulogy by David Drake, and the Baen Free Library, of free online books(!)
Never met the man of course, but it's quite likely I've read some of the books he edited or published.
I had a brief look at the online library, but didn't recognise too many titles.
