I was under the impression that Baen is "independent" but their printing/distribution for dead tree books is handled through Simon and Schuster. I seem to remember that Baen was spun out the S&S's Pocket Book division.
I purchase the Baen monthly bundles -- it's been a rare month when I haven't enjoyed enough of the books to make the price worthwhile -- and quite often I've found books by new authors that I have really enjoyed. I can't say that I like all the books that Baen publishes but they hit the mark for me far more often than any other publisher since the old Ace doubles. I will admit that I am now waiting impatiently for Oct. 2nd when
Uncompromising Honor will have the full ebook released.
