Jim Baen, 1943-2006

Jim Baen -- publisher and editor-in-chief of Baen Books, former editor of Ace Books, and one of the most influential SF editors of our time -- has died at the age of 62.

David Drake has written an obituary and appreciation for the Baen website; he doesn't go into details, but Baen had a stroke two weeks ago and never regained consciousness.

He will be greatly missed; all of us at the SFBC will keep his family and friends in our thoughts.
