timersтАФit seemed about time to me that we started getting more of their view of things into the series.
Although not quite to the same degree, Chris Weber's short novella "The Company Men" also
approaches the setting primarily from the standpoint of seventeenth-century figures. In the case of his

story, which is an adventure story, that of two mercenary soldiers of the time. And in John Zeek's
murder mystery "Bottom Feeders," we get a nice mix of viewpoints.
There's a nice mix of stories in this issue, I think, in more ways than one. They range from military
stories like Mike Spehar's "Collateral Damage" through stories involving the struggle to expand medical
care (Ewing's "An Invisible War"), and everything in between. The same is true for the factual articles,
where you'll get a treatise on seventeenth-century swordplay as well as a discussion of the practical
challenges posed by geology and mining in the context of the technical resources available to the
characters in the series.

I should mention that there is one major change in the magazine from the first issue. I'm no longer
including an Images section as a part of the magazine itself. I did that for the first issue, and intended to
continue. However, I failed to take into account that by including so many images in the magazine itself,
it became difficult for many people to download in a reasonable timeтАФand for those using PDAs, often
effectively impossible.
So, while I will continue to expand the images provided, whenever I get the chance, I'm now going to do
it separately from the magazine itself. That way people will be able to download the text of the magazine
without any problems. The Images will now be found at a separate location as part of the Baen Free
Library. The Baen Free Library is free of charge, so they won't cost you anything extra.
To find the images, do the following:

1) Go to Baen Books' web site: www.baen.com
2) Select "Free Library" from the menu at the top.
3) Once you're in the Library, select "The Authors" from the menu at the left.
4) Select "Eric Flint."
5) Select "Images from the Grantville Gazette."

Now that the images are disconnected from the Gazette itself, I'll be adding to them on a separate
schedule. That'll make things easier for me, given my work load. Most likely, I'll add fewer images and
commentary each time, but do it more often than the magazine itself appears.
