What do you mean exactly? Lol EDIT: Actually, after reading it again I think I get ya  Dante probably has more copies of each book of the series than all of us combined. I have TBB three times (softcover, Rare Edition, Hardcover First Edition) and TSS twice (first copy I got, signed copy) |

) Dante probably has more copies of each book of the series than all of us combined. And some of them in obscure languages, of course. I own TBB and TWW twice, those are the American editions which I saw in a second hand book store one day. I also own the Perilous Parlor game and a colour print out of "thirteen shocking secrets you'll wish you never knew about Lemony Snicket." I have the chart blue-tacked onto my wall. |

I own the limited edition Cambridge University Press translation of TBB into Old English with imitation woodcuts, but that's pretty standard stuff among hardcore collectors. The real prize is the Sumerian engraved tablet box set issued in an actual wooden chest. I've been in a bidding war for that on unfortunateBay for three years; might have to cover the costs by selling off one of my three defective Greek-language movie editions signed by Jim Carrey in his own blood. |

* The Un-Authorized Autobiography (signed by DH)
* Back-up copies : TSS, TGG, TPP (signed by DH), TE

* Back-up copies with special movie promotional count olaf jackets : TRR, TWW.

I don't mean to sound forward, but is it possible you could upload any scans/photos please? I would be fascinated to see them. |

I made all that up, though. And I'm not sure if you know that and are furthering the irony to a point beyond which I have the available time to perpetuate the hoax.

I own Latin editions of TBB, TWW, and TEE. okay, technically it's not the form of Latin spoken by people in ancient Rome, but a modern dialect of Latin originating from the Iberian peninsula. |

I suspect there would be a market for (ancient) Latin editions of ASOUE, along the lines of Alicia in Terra Mirabili, Winnie Ille Pu, Arrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, and such works.

I own books 1-10 softcover (through school book orders). 11-13 are the normal hardcover. I own TUA, TBL,and Horseradish. I own two copies of The Puzzling Puzzles (one regular and one movie version). I have The Blank Book, as well as The Latke and The Lump of Coal. I have The Composer is Dead. I also have a mini book called 13 Shocking Secrets which they were giving out at bookstores before TE came out. Shameful admission: I don't actually own the movie. I will have to pick it up next time I see it...

Very nice. I think they're meant to cost considerably more than that individually, let alone together.
