I'm thinking like the puzzle book (Perilous Puzzles) and notes book (Notorious Notations).
Terrifying Trading Cards - Book of tear-out trading cards. Each book contains different cards and has duplicates.
A set of baby books featuring Sunny:
Sunny Baudelaire's Awful Alphabet Book Sunny Baudelaire's Crushing Counting Book Sunny Baudelaire's Book of Carnivorous Colours and Sordid Shapes Sunny Baudelaire's Book of Likely-to-Attack Animals
Come up with your own ideas, comment on others, etc.

Why else would they publish such a thing?!?

Pokemon cards were cool D: Anyways, those baby books would be a good idea, however no doubt they would be bought mainly by Snicket fans of a higher age group than infancy. Other ideas include published versions of the Baudelaire and Quagmire commonplace books, Carmelita's book, Beatrice's book and The littlest elf could all be made into something. Also a Sunny dictionary would enable us all to speak baby babble... just for novelty value

I really like the Carmelita Spats book! The Sunny Books are awesome, although the title need to be modified a little bit.

Since the Beatrice Letters are coming out, and hopefully will tell us everything we need to know, I don't want any more add-ons. Especially since most things would just be money-grabbing schemes.
I wouldn't mind, however, The Littlest Elf.

So there were two diary books? Why?
I got the 2006 Futurama calendar over ASOUE, why was it a rip-off?

If you want to be technical, TBlankB was meant as a commonplace book, and NNotations as a journal. Yeah, whatever, HarperCollins/Handler. And the 2006 Calendar was only sold by Egmont, and contained no new information - all the Snickety quotations on the days were taken from the 2004/5 calendars (get the full story here!).

So did the two blank books have any major differences?
Well, they might use the excuse that they didn't want to screw over fans that didn't get the calendar by revealing clues in it or something, which would be vital with the last book coming out, or something....

The two blank books were, I confess, only similar in the fact that they were blank and each page had quotations and background art from the chapter pictures; they had different border artwork around each page, though, which in NNotations was actually excellent (although the cover was taken from The Ominous Omnibus (beneath the dustjacket)). And I don't think Egmont really cares, unless the 2004 calendar wasn't sold in the U.K. *checks* Hm, Egmont distributed the 2005 calendar in this country, but it didn't do the 2004 calendar, according to Amazon.co.uk, so maybe it just wanted to make two calendars, so possibly you're right. Or Amazon.co.uk could be wrong, which isn't exactly uncommon.

I think it would be great if they released the Snicket Files. As it would only be 13 pages long, it would make more sense if you were to buy it with B13, however, seeing as it would (hopefully) answer all our questions, in an 'exciting' format, then it would prove to be a great buy.

The Snicket Files should be released as a package of letters and some fun items, not a simple book, otherwise it would be too short to buy.
The only reason the other 12 pages of the Snicket Files are important is because they are the last pieces of evidence that could de-un-jail Olaf, and we'll probably discover why they are in B13. It would be neat to discover just when they were written and what the exact contents of them are, though.

Yes, I was thinking that they should be in letter form. However, because it would be so thin, it might also contain some other bonus material (extra illustrations / photographs, VFD member and enemy biographies, definition of what VFD is and its history) so that it would be a source VFD files, including the most important: The Snicket Files.
