Yes, thank you. Is that the complete description?

Yes, thank you. Is that the complete description? It's all that they had on Barnes & Noble's website. |

Wow. I love it, although I'm never going to get the boxed set, seeing as I buy each book as soon as it comes out, and I don't want to spend money on doubles. It really is an intriguing cover, though.

That cover is awesome.
Is it just UK/US or is it transatlantic?
Even though it's more than likely I won't get it, I think that's the best cover yet, out of all of the books.

Oh. My. God. It's so beautiful...
I was wondering where Mike T's avatar was from.

That is one of the best covers ever! I'm so amused by it! Olaf is like a trained comedian! I like how it represents the tables turning. He seems to be rather frustrated by the chart. The menacing smile and egotistical eyes seem to be missing. Edit: Does anyone notice that octopus (it might be a squid or another sea animal) in the window? Count Olaf doesn't seem to notice it. On the lower-right hand side there's something that I can't make out. It might just be something useful for the submarine or more eyes. Yes I agree that is the best box set cover. |

yup. He looks hassled, like he's saying "Grrrrrr......" Like he's really tired of chasing the Baudelaires and the sugar bowl and just wants it all to end.

And he felt very much like that in TGG, too.
“Your luck is over at last,” he said, in a terrible voice. “For far too long, you keep defeating my plans and escaping from my clutches – a happy cycle for you orphans and an unprofitable one for me. But now the tables have turned, Baudelaires."

A HAPPY cycle? Hello, he caused all of that! Karma, Olaf, Karma! And because the baudelaires were so nice and had been unhappy or so long, the tables have just turned for them, hopefully for the better.

Part of the reason why I love that quote is because it shows things from Olaf's point of view. He doesn't think that they're suffering - he thinks that he is. It's funny, because the Baudelaires think that they're the only ones suffering, but Olaf's weary of it all too. Basically, everybody loses.

Gah, I wish Amazon.co.uk would stop including bally French, German and American aSoUE editions on its site. What's the point? It's Amazon.co. UK.  Hm, that's odd. I can't find any more four-book sets. I'm sure that I've seen them, though - and I have never seen the Trouble Begins, Situation Worsens or Dilemma Deepens in the shops. Ever. |
