Baen's first run at magazine-style book publishing took place in the late 1970s, in the form of "Destinies", a quarterly 'bookazine' that featured fiction and non-fiction by well-known and new authors that Baen was promoting. It was published by Ace, where Baen was employed at the time. Under the aegis of Baen Books in the 1980s he published two more bookazine series. The first was "Far Frontiers". The second was "New Destinies", edited by Baen, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Michael A. Banks.
