The limited edition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the series is so beautiful! The newly added character bios at the beginning are hilarious and re reading the story really made me appreciate Snicket’s writing style, character building, and how he balances the light and dark throughout the Baudelaire orphans journey.

Well, this will be the most automatic preorder I've ever placed. I'm apologizing to my wallet in advance if they make special editions of all 13 books; I'm afraid I will in fact need them all. So excited that this series is getting a special edition!
