I've recently had the pleasure of re-reading Komarr, a book I first read when I was too young to understand it, and reread when I was too newly married to appreciate it. Thank you for producing this wonderful book- the SF is excellent, but the insight into human nature is even better. I don't live in the States, and finding copies of your works is extremely difficult. Any chance of a box set being released? POD?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Thanks for the rereads of increasing understanding!
Almost all my titles are widely and instantly available as ebooks and audio downloads, internationally on Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Rakuten Kobo, and (US only) Barnes & Noble's Nook. I don't see how, if you have enough computer power to be here, you can't get to them through at least one of these vendor platforms. I can't speak to the other vendors, but Amazon gives away their Kindle app as a free download, in multiple formats for multiple kinds and brands of devices.
I don't know how to make this any easier.
A paper boxed set seems unlikely. Print-on-demand may happen someday, although my current two, about to be three, PoD titles, have been selling in too small of numbers to make it an obvious thing to try, given the start-up hassles. For the moment, the ones we have are through Ingram Spark, which I believe is US-only (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong about that) and through Amazon -- I don't know how their PoD program works internationally. (Have any non-US readers out there been able to successfully order The Spirit Ring or "Knife Children" PoDs though this on Amazon international?)

This might seem like a silly question, but I wonder if you could describe how you picture loose-fitting Komarran trousers? As I've reread the series, they vacillate in my mind between modern day wide-legged trousers, to ones fitted at the ankle like harem pants, to much more voluminous bottoms like hakama or riding skirts. How do you imagine them?

Happy Winterfair wishes to Lois and all who read her works. I am assuming that Winterfair takes place on and around the Winter Solstice, which is today, as I type this, on Old Earth. And Penric, Des and the rest in the world of the Five Gods should be celebrating Father's MidWinter? I can't remember, do the Sharing Knife characters celebrate a middle of winter holiday?
