Is there any hope that the Vorkosigan books will be printed again? I would love nice copies of my favorites but all I can find are used copies in poor condition.

NESFA Press has the first 8 or so VK books in nice smallish hardcovers, still in print. You can get them (signed) from Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore, and some through Dreamhaven Books & Comics. You may also be able to order directly from NESFA. (Which is the New England Science Fiction Association, in full.)
Uncle Hugo's also carries new copies of a lot of my older titles -- you should check their catalog. http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/ah-bujo... You can email the store to inquire about any you don't see there.
There has never been a uniform VK set apart from my indie e-volumes. (Which you can see on that poster to my left in my Goodreads PR photo.)
Amazon, I note, generally has its descriptions of used books for sale stating their condition; "Like new" is probably a useful descriptor though one is of course dependent on the reliability of the sub-vendor providing same.
In general, reprints of backlist books only happen if there is either a big new frontlist book offered expected to sell really well, to carry them in its wake, or a big media adaptation. The currents odds against both are in the "hit by a meteorite" range.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
One thing that struck me in the WGW series was Dag denying that he had to return to the Lakewalkers and fight malices with them their way because he was necessary the cause, and said that it should never get to the point where any one person is indispensable. Now it seems there are quite a few people all over the political spectrum insisting that they are indispensable. Any thoughts on Being the MC vs group effort?
