What I was thinking on Beatrice #2 was that she was the Violet, Klaus, and Sunny's sibling. Not too likely but she could be an older sibling who was taken by VFD before Violet was born. Sort of messes with the timeline of VFD's schism. That was the first thing I thought. Now I'm not really sure though.

Beatrice #2 could be a half sibling to the Baudelaires. Having her be a regular sibling would seem...I dunno. I don't want to say wrong, but we've pretty much concretely established the trio of Baudelaires and such.
I'm still not sure of anything, though.

It seems like me that shes younger than Violet.
And having her a full sibling would be a bit gimicky.
Does anyone remember in TEE when Esme mentions The Sugar Bowl being stolen by Beatrice? Violet wonders what she was talking about, but gets cut off. Maybe BB2 is a cousin that they had met a time or two, and THATS what Violet was thinking of.

I just got the book. It's great but I can't seem to locate the folio to the punch-out letters in. Can someone help?

Dimkasmir, the punch-out letters are in the book itself, about every other page or so. They're in the illustrations.
Beatrice #2 says something interesting about being an "orphan" without Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. I don't know if she means literally or figuratively, but it makes it even more difficult to determine how they are related.

The (alphabet) letters are in the white book, amongst the (correspondence) letters. When you punch them out, you can store them in the folder.

So do you store them in the folder that contained the poster or the letters?

I suppose either one. Or just don't punch them out and keep them pristine in their pages.

Hooray, I finally got my copy. I wasn't suprised at how short it was because Barnes and Noble said it was only like 47 pages, but I was surprised at how it was set up (with the file folders and such). I liked it!
This book answered a lot of my questions and it was definately a shocker seeing Beatrice Baudelaire and I'm a bit confused about the two Beatrices.
Concerning the telegram, the first thing I thought of when he wrote it to Mrs. Baudelaire was that obviously it was the Baudelaire's mom. This could lead into the Baudelaire parents both being alive because it says, "I understand that you and your husband are both still alive, and rumors have reached me of your pregnancy." The pregnancy bit immediately made me think of the old theory I had that Kit Snicket was the Baudelaire's mom. They don't see much of her, and she was wearing that coat that TPP described as covering almost her whole face. Plus, when they asked who she was she looked surprised, as if they should have already known.
Oh, and I think the younger Beatrice is possibly the baby that older Beatrice is having. It is obvious that she knew the Baudelaire's when they were older because she heard Sunny on the radio. So that would mean the younger Beatrice is Klaus, Sunny, and Violet's sister. Just my opinion.
You may think I'm a lunatic, but that's just what first popped in my head. I like how the two Beatrices are hidden in the cover.
With all due respect, Thirteen

I wanna see if the letters formed by the random objects spell anything... (S) (I/L?) (C) (T) Someone better at cryptograms than me, try and add those to the punch out letters, see if they form anything.

BEATRICE SANK
The punch-out letters and the photos/extra letters spell the same thing.
But then, if you take the punch-out letters and match them up with the two sides of the poster, you can make two other anagrams. As I said on the previous page, A NICER BASKET. Don't know if that's what they intended, or what it might mean, though.

I don't think this has been touched up on here.. but is there perhaps a Sebald Code on BB to LS #3? There are 2 'rings'... "ringing his vowbell to call..." and "...traded them a ring".. I can't seem to find any more, and I have no idea what it could mean.. but just throwing it out there.

I did. I don't think S I C T spell anything of significance. I'm fairly certain they need to be combined with the extra (alphabet) letters in the (correspondence) letters.
Anyone else agree/disagree?
