But of course surely that isn't so. Because buying the book in the new release window doesn't matter at all and in no way incentivizes the creation of future books.
Certainly it meant that Baen Books didn't publish any more of Gingrich books. Of course, when the Gettysburg book sold well, it generated a lot of alternate history books by the two authors. Yea, I hadn't thought of that point, but it's true. It is a good example.
