Hello again.
I've received some days ago the text of Unauthorized Autobiography from PJ, but I sadly saw that THIS book has a Brazilian version. ¬¬'
If other people can contribute, please manifest! Don't let this thread have a miserable end.

Dear Fellow Brazilian,
Please do not keep the stereotype that piracy is allowed in Brazil. More important, take more care in your Research!
First, the good news: yes, the Unauthorized Autobiography is indeed available, for example check Livraria Cultura (http://www.livrariacultura.com.br) a search for Lemony Snicket will show it as the first result (price R$ 32,50).
Also, there are no taxes on book imports. There are, however, the shipping fees and that can be significant, specially if you buy just one book. You will find the imported editon on Livraria Cultura just below the brazilian edition and it actually costs less (R$ 21,74).
Sorry if I'm lecturing, but it is very important to resist to the idea that "piracy with no money involved is ok". If enough people do not buy legally books, what incentive is there for publishing them? The fact that there is a brazilian edition shows that there are indeed a lot of book *buyers* in Brazil.
Take care,

I love Portuguese. I love how it has all those "ao"'s in everything.
