Nice collection.
I read Watch Your Mouth a long time ago, but it is a good book. For Canon ASOUE books there's also Poison for Breakfast and The Beatrice Letters (the latter is harder to get hold of).
For Handler's adult work, I recommend starting with The Basic Eight, or Why We Broke Up.

Nice collection! It depends on what you want for your display. It looks like you have all books connected to ASOUE and ATWQ, except for The Beatrice Letters and 29 Myths on the Swinster Pharmacy. You have Watch Your Mouth, so does that mean you want to have all Mr. Handler's books too? You can always look up books he's written, but off the top of my head... The Basic Eight. Watch Your Mouth. All The Dirty Parts. Bottle Grove. We Are Pirates. Adverbs. There are also picture books. They are just simple children's books, but if you want to beef up your collection, you could get those. Here is a very delightful file on everything you should need to know. Oh, and of course, you could always grab Mr. Handler's new book, And Then? And Then? What Else?

respectfully, the picture books are not "just simple children's books", but are as important a part of DH's work as his novels. and like his novels, some are marvellous, some are OK, a couple are lousy. i highly recommend The Lump of Coal, The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, and The Composer Is Dead.

Yeah I am actually getting "The beatrice letters". I'm not sure if I should collect Handlers books, but it does make sense so definitely will buy his other well known books. As for "The Composer Is Dead" What's it about? Just a brief summary will do. As for everyone who has replied your opinions are appreciated, thank you!

The Composer Is Dead is a murder mystery with an accompanying audiobook modeled after Peter and the Wolf.
rather than simply collecting Handler's books, i recommend reading them. Watch Your Mouth is a bit of an extreme entry point, but if you read that and enjoy it, you will probably like his others.

I apologize if it sounded like I was discrediting the picture books. I was referring them like that, because I was trying to not make it seem like they are important to the plot of ASOUE or ATWQ. The Dark is a personal favorite.

I confess to not having read many of Snicket's works outside of ASOUE and ATWQ, but if you're interested in the picture books I recommend Goldfish Ghost.
