Any chance of Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls being rereleased? Perhaps as matching books or even as a set?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Don't forget The Hallowed Hunt in that set wish!
Anyway, it's not up to me. Print rights are held by HarperCollins, who may do with them as they wish. In general, paper reprints of older books are only financially feasible if it's done in coordination with release of a new frontlist novel, and sometimes not even then.
Right now -- I just checked -- you can buy the original hardcover editions of all three titles used starting at a penny plus postage on Amazon. (For rather more, you can buy unused ones signed from Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore here in Minneapolis.) This is not something a publisher can compete with, for small-demand items.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Many authors write material that is ultimately cut out of the finished product, either by the author herself or by an editor. Do you have any backlogs of text that did not make it to the published work that you deem readable by your fans? Or that you regret leaving out?

Vorkosigan Idea - Miles does real legislation in Vorkosigan District as I always felt that this was never addressed given as there district always seems to fall behind as Aral and Miles were always off world or at the Capital worrying about Barrayar. Thoughts?
