I think the poll results as of when I write this (41 respondents and 33 always start with book 1) show the wisdom of Baen publishing. They used to go back and sell the first book for $1.00. I started on Honor Harrington that way. Now the first book goes into their free library after a couple have been published. Read book one with little to no risk. If you like it, they got return on their investment.
