About This Item
NY: Harper Collins, 2001. 1st Edition Thus. Paperback. Very Good-Collectible. Helquist, Brett. SEVENTH PRINTING. 5.5"x7.5" 255 numbered pgs. Cover design by Alison Donalty. Spine slightly slanted, binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. Not x-library, unclipped, unmarked. Faint creases to covers. Ffep slightly detached. Secure ship w/track #. Dear Reader,
Before you throw this awful book to the ground and run as far away from it as possible, you should probably know why. This book is the only one which describes every last detail of the Baudelaire children's miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital, which makes it one of the most dreadful books in the world.
There are many pleasant things to read about, but this book contains none of them. Within the pages are such burdensome details as a suspicious shopkeeper, unnecessary surgery, an intercom system, anesthesia, heart-shaped ballons, and some very startling news about a fire. Clearly you do not want to read about such things. I have sworn to research this story, and to write it down as best I can, so I should know that this book is something best left on the ground, where you undoubtedly found it.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket.
