The 1995 Baen edition includes both endings ( which differ only on the last page ), Jim Baen's own edited postlude to the story, and a collection of readers ' essays giving their opinions about which ending is better.

Baen Books is an American publishing company established in 1983 by science fiction publisher and editor Jim Baen.

Consequently, Baen also makes its entire catalog available in multiple formats for downloading and typically prices electronic versions of its books at or below that of paperback editions — and makes a profit doing it .</ span > According to essays on Baen's science fiction e-magazine Jim Baen's Universe, also edited by Flint, the strategy is if anything, getting stronger and more fruitful with the passage of time, especially with the advent of e-book readers such as the Amazon Kindle, and the Barnes & Noble Nook.

Another avenue for distribution that Baen uses for some of its new titles is the offering of Electronic Advance Reader Copies ( ARCs ), or eARCs 3 – 5 months prior to actual publication.

What it means is that some authors ( and Baen ) can get paid as many as three times for the same book: the eARC, part of the monthly bundle, and actual printed book.

After print publication, the " cleaned up and finalized " electronic copy is available both on line through the monthly bundle or as a single title ( priced variably $ 3 – 6 ) and through the parallel practice Baen instituted of using promotional CD-ROMs with permissive copyright licenses with many of its stable of authors works.

Whether downloaded or by CD-ROM, the source material is available in all the formats Baen supports, which includes some for e-book readers.

It is difficult to judge the issue of quality but, based on the number of times a title published by Baen Books appeared in the bestseller lists produced by the major bookselling chains, it is ranked the seventh most popular SF publisher.

In March 2006, Holtzbrinck forced Tor Books, which is owned by Holtzbrinck, to stop making its books available as eBooks via Baen Ebooks because of concerns regarding the lack of digital rights management ( DRM ).

In late 1999 he started an electronic publishing business called Webscriptions ( since renamed to Baen Ebooks ), which is considered to be the first profitable e-book vendor.

The market for anthologies in fiction is but a small percentage of the market for novels, and the alternate history genre is a smallish niche to begin with — leading publisher Jim Baen to " hold up " the Ring of Fire collection to see if the series would get a boost from New York Times best selling author David Weber, who had just contracted to do five novels with Flint.
