	Prime Palaver #7
		My general rule of thumb is that I put a title up in the Library three months after it has come out in paperback and three months after it has cycled through for the last time in Webscriptions.
		That means, for lead titles, that the reader is given no less than three chances to buy the book before they can get it for free: 1) the hardcover edition; 2) Webscriptions (usually twice, here, because the same title is typically recycled through when the paperback edition comes out); and, 3) the paperback edition.
		Some of it through Webscriptions, a lot of it for free.

	Baen Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baen Books may justly claim an innovative approach to marketing through the internet on several levels.
		It was primarily a paperback publishing house until 1999, when Webscriptions was introduced.
		For a monthly fee, a customer "subscribes" to the set of five or so novels published electronically in a given month.

	1632: Author's Manual : Sample Manuscript
		In Webscriptions, the title is also in a larger font size as well as in all-caps, but don't YOU do that.
		Webscriptions, on the other hand, does show it - and it's a lot easier to read text - long pieces of fiction, anyway, if not business letters - where the paragraphs aren't constantly broken up by line breaks.
		Do not set up a paragraph format which automatically changes the margins in the document to be indented on the first line.

	That's All I've Got to Say
		The other news is that, alas, after briefly making several Tor ebooks available via Webscriptions, Baen abruptly removed them from its site a couple of weeks ago pending further discussion with Tor's higher-ups.
		The news has many Webscription old-timers on Baen's Bar excited, Scalzi and Stross are both quite positive about it in their weblogs, and so are other blogs that have picked up on the story.
		With Tor on board, it might not be so easy to dismiss Webscriptions as an experiment by a niche publisher.

	Writing On Your Palm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I would be remiss if I did not follow up my earlier, enthusiastic entry about Tor books becoming available via Baen's Webscriptions with an entry for the plan's subsequent obituary.
		The first signs of trouble came when Baen abruptly removed the Tor titles from its Webscription program, shortly after making them available, pending further discussion with Tor's higher-ups.
		Meanwhile, the Tor Webscriptions forum on the Bar resounds with the complaints of disappointed barflies who are upset that Tor's corporate parent just Doesn't Get It.

	Whatever: The Stupidity of Worrying About Piracy
		Webscriptions (also from Baen) provide an _entire month's_ publication schedule (4 to 6 books) for less than the price of a hardnack.
		I've got multiple books on the Baen Free Library (all paperbacks that have done their hardback run and paperback run in Webscriptions).
		Baen puts its stuff up online in Webscriptions (all of it, every tiddly dot that's in electronic form) and older books in the Free Library as well as doing CDs with huge collections of ebooks _and_ audio books on MP3.

	The Official Philip José Farmer Home Page - What's New Archive
		Baen has an excerpt from the short story "Mother" online and the entire book is also available as part of Baen’s Webscriptions program.
		You can find an excerpt from Mother online and when the book comes out, it will also be available as part of Baen’s Webscriptions program.
		There is no change to the listing for TARZAN ALIVE.
