Is 208 light or heavy for these kinds of books? I honestly don't know. It's hard to say given that we currently know the dimensions. The Unauthorized Biography (the Snicket book it seems most to resemble) was 240 pages and about 5 by 7 inches. So it's certainly almost 40 pages thinner than that. :Edit: Although TIHOSO does also seem to weigh about a pound heavier than TUA. My guess is that the actual book's dimensions will also much bigger as it's going to try to emulate the prop used in the show. Meaning it'll have likely have about the same amount of content (perhaps more!) as TUA.

TIHOSO will probably also have much thicker, full-color paper. The pages themselves will probably weigh a lot more.

I expect it will also have a thicker cover ... I have a lot of these sorts of books so I'll have a look at the page counts of some later.

I would agree that this will probably be a pretty hefty book, if they're really mimicking the prop from the show; and those are the sorts of proportions these coffee table books often have. Combined with the fact that it's longer than three of the books in the series anyway, it sounds like it should bear a pretty significant amount of content.

If they make it the dimensions of the book on the show, it'll be nice and heavy.

I want a heavy book. I want to unintentionally grunt every time I go to pick it up.

OK so I had a look at a few of my behind the scenes books -- all the Disney 'The Art of' books are 157 pages long and they include a LOT of content. One of the 'Making of' Fantastic Beasts books is a bit shorter than that at 143 pages, and again it has a lot of content. The Art of Fantastic Beasts has 264 pages and that's a really thick and heavy one ... so in conclusion, 208 pages is going to be really good. I imagine they'll cram in a lot of content. ^_^

The book's listing on the Barnes and Noble website offers up two brief (but very interesting) new pieces of information.

Ooooh!! That does look really good -- although I do wish they'd kept it looking exactly as it does in the show.
The placement of the Baudelaires/Olaf/the ASOUE title does feel a bit unbalanced. It always makes me kind of sad how prominent Count Olaf is compared to the Baudelaires in Netflix's promotion (though I understand the reasons why), though in this case, considering NPH has written the introduction, I suppose it's only fair.

I suspect that the image on the front cover may be some kind of easily removable sticker. A lot of books and DVD/Bluray boxsets have been using them lately as a way of making a product more appealing to the casual buyer by showing off the famous people associated with the item while ensuring that the dedicated fans can have a more aesthetically pleasing package when they purchase it.

ORRR a slipcover. That would be great
