Tolkien is now a classic, of course.

What I am saying is that they seem to carry a fair representation of the Baen catalog, which is what the stated goal of the collections policy is. I don't know how many widely distributed books Baen publishes a year, but they do seem to have popular authors. I wouldn't really expect any library to do more than that unless it was a special collections facility. And I certainly would not call it prejudice.
