Been buying them mostly without fail.
Which is why I know they aren't only (or even primarily) about MSF: I own 657 of their books and I know what I have.

I was introduced to Baen books well before ebooks came out. Mercedes Lackey and David Weber both hit the scene in the late 80's. I started reading David Weber because one of the clerk's at the local SF&Mystery bookstore recommended this wonderful new writer (She was apparently his sister or SIL, I don't remember which) about that time. Baen had quite a stable of writers in the early 90's - Weber, Drake, Moon, Lackey and Bujold.
