Oh, come on. I could do better in my sleep. I'm pretty sure Jim does them himself. He's a nice guy, too. Just a little on the cheap side, apparently. I'm sure that it's because of the tiny print runs that he isn't able to spend much money on stuff like that.

Note that this isn't intended to reflect on the quality of the book. David Drake (known local boy) writes some of the better military sf around, and he's largely Baen-published. And it's wonderful that there's a well-distributed small-run sf publisher still out there. (I mean, there's also Arkham House, Four Walls, Eight Windows, and Mark V. Ziesing, but you've gotta really search for those.) And he keeps his back catalog up. And he offers some older books online for free.

But you can still pick out a Baen offering from across the room just from the cover, unless it's next to a late 80s Tor book.
