Baen CD Mirror

In 2002 Baen Publishing in an unprecedented move gave away a bound-in CD with the first edition hardcover release of David Weber's War of Honor. This CD contained over twenty-two UNENCRYPTED novels in several formats (html, .rtf, .lit, .prc, .rb). Here an Orientation by Jim Baen, publisher that explains the idea a lot better.

Since then they have continued to release new CD's frequently with certain books and if this wasn't enough they allow these CDs to be freely distributed by anyone as long as there's no charge for it. These CDs are generally available bound into the first edition of the books they are titled for. A few of the CDs (those marked with the P prefix) are not bound in any book and were made available as publishing industry promotional material.

Please remember that just because these books are being provided at no cost does not mean that they are in the Public Domain. So if you download any of the disks, do take the time to go to the Baen Webscription site and buy a copy of at least the CD's primary ebook. Each book over there costs about $6 and that gives you access to the book along with a downloadable copy of the CD. Or you can buy the entire Webscription month that the CD accompanies for $15.

This site is not associated with Baen Publishing Enterprises. (Obviously. But just wanted to make sure I make that very clear on this). The contents of the CD's have been made freely available and I (Suramya) don't make any profit from this or any sales of Baen Books. The zipped images of the CD's were downloaded from The Fifth Imperium where all the same content is hosted along with other extra's.

Due to production lead times, once the error was discovered, it was decided to simply abandon the disk for this entry.	N/A
