Or perhaps fire? A lot of fire? So much fire it takes up all the space in the front. I hope so. I like fire.

Oh, that'd look rather nice... I like how Brett paints fire.

I just got this out of the blue but , what if Beatrice could be the Baudelaires mom , and Lemony Snicket would be the name Daniel picked because Lemony Snicket is the father or some really close realitive. Does anybody else find this quite intersting or what . It really makes you think!

Snicketletters, your drawing is being admired for its quality, although the nose got a bit out of hand. I'm not here for art criticism, though.
So, TBL will be the same size as the books in aSoUE? It better be.
A polaroid photograph of anybody in TBL is SOOO gonna be cool.

Quick update: Amazon.co.uk now lists The Beatrice Letters as being released September rather than October, which is sort-of a vague confirmation of the September 6th release date I've heard. So, that's good. Funny that it's still listed as HarperCollins, though, when Egmont told me they'd be dealing with it, but meh, so long as I get it on time and the cover hasn't been mangled, I'll be happy.

Snicketletters, your drawing is being admired for its quality, although the nose got a bit out of hand. I'm not here for art criticism, though. Thank you, oh, and the drawing's comments should be in my thread in Aggivarting Arts, entitled, "My drawing of Beatrice". I, for some reason, had a hard time drawing the nose. Back to the topic... Maybe TBL will be in a box (similar to A Box of Unfortunate Events) and have a file/letters in the box, too, etc... Something I thought up.

Back to the topic... Maybe TBL will be in a box (similar to A Box of Unfortunate Events) and have a file/letters in the box, too, etc... Something I thought up. This was suggested quite early on. I think I dismissed it then, but given that we now know that TBL will include a poster and some punch-out stuff, then I think it might require some unconventional packaging to keep everything in. Then again, it might not; it all depends on how everything's set out. If we're lucky, then at some point before the book comes out then some site like B&N will put up an picture of it viewed from an angle (it does this for quite a lot of stuff), and we'll be able to tell the precise format from that.

I'm curious about the contents- even though we barely know if it's going to really solve the mysteries- since Amazon, BAN all said that there's 72 pages in the book. That seems kind low....

Well like I said before that is 72 pages equivlent to 72 letters which is enough for me. If it were more it might become tedious because unlike TUA it will not have the same variety of resources to give the reader some excitement or what not but most the information will be packed in letters.

Oh! Well, that- that sound interesting. I think you've got something there...

If TBL will be in a box, I assume it'll be like the box of TBB:RE, but with more space to accomodate whatever it should hold.

Good idea. Say, how was the Marvelous Marriage portrait packaged with the BBRE? I think I remember the box being plastic-wrapped, but was the picture actually slotted inside the box? (Although it's not really a box, per se, but it's not a cover either...) I'm just thinking that a poster would have to be folded to a fair thickness to fit inside such a box, plus I don't really want the book itself rattling around in the box with a lot of spare space after the poster's been removed. If it does come in that format.

My edition had the picture packed inside the box.

Is there going to be some sort of alternate way to opening it, like TUA had the fold-out thing?
And are they going to continue with the add-on books after the series has ended? Possibly just publish one big book with all the information that wasn't made entirely clear/never revealed/made entirely clear and fully revealed in the series, a thorough explanation of what happened to every character, and backstories for the characters that weren't given backstories?
And if so, what would they title it as? Would it even be an actual book? Possibly a file from the Hall of Records with lots of little bits of paper and minibooks and funstuff and such..."The Very Fast Delivery Mail Company Undelivered Mail: Sent by/to L. Snicket"? Maybe an autobiography published by one of the Baudelaires after the ASOUE books, including what they found out later? A VFD dictionary published by, well, VFD, that held information on everything and everywhere in the series?
