Not the catchiest of titles, but after quite a few more books and what will be near enough twelve years since publication of the original, there's room for another of these, I suppose. Capitalising on the Netflix series, no doubt.

Capitalising on the Netflix series, no doubt. Not to mention the 20th anniversary of Lemony Snicket's first book. |

It's still listed for March 26th on US Amazon but since the May 2nd listing has been found on Amazon UK by Dante and now Book Depository by me, the thread name has been updated. Book Depository Listing  Amazon UK Listing  |

Amazon is now saying that the book has been re-titled "Read Something Else: Dubious Wit and Wisdom". Still no update on the official release date.

That's probably for the best. I do think there's a market for a book of the clever and memorable epigrams Snicket is well-known for, but I'm not sure how many people could be prevailed upon to buy another edition of Horseradish - and indeed, I wonder how many bought the original, when the title was not especially effective at communicating what it was actually about, which this new version does adequately.
Actually, the title structure reminds me of File Under: Suspicious Incidents, until of course they inserted a "13" into that title and promptly evaporated its original sense.

Speak of the Devil: Both U.S. and U.K. listings for this book now give it the much more lucid and elegant title of Read Something Else: Collected Dubious Wit and Wisdom. Thanks for clearing that up, HarperCollins. |

The release date has been moved back to March 26th and the HarperCollins website has uploaded a new description: Looking for wit, wisdom, and inspiration all within the pages of one useful book? Read Something Else.
Life is a turbulent journey, fraught with confusion, heartbreak, and inconvenience. This collection of wit and wisdom from New York Times bestselling author Lemony Snicket is unlikely to help.
It includes a new introduction filled with curious aphorisms, a handful of never-before-seen-or-heard quotations, and fan favourites from works over the years. These dubious offerings, collected from Snicket’s books, unpublished papers, and more, have been made pleasing to the eye by illustrations, select fan art, and design flourishes.

If it's meant as a release to mark the 20th anniversary of the series, then including fan art would make sense.
