Chronicling the arduous adventures of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire, this collection includes all 13 volumes from The Bad Beginning to The End, with more than half of the books containing Lemony Snicket's specific method of signing: an embossed stamp with ink inscription "with all due respect" and the date. The Austere Academy (volume 5) is not only stamped/inscribed, but has the rare original dust jacket: several, but not all, of the titles were available in jacket only if ordered directly from the publisher, and very few were printed. Included is a copy of Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography, with an introduction by Daniel Handler as "the official representative." This book is not only stamped/inscribed, but is signed by Handler as Daniel Handler. A splendiferous set for the covetous collector.
