reviews from the “New York Times,” “Entertainment Weekly” and “U.S. News and World Report,” to name a few, 50 million copies of the first nine
Lemony Snicket books have sold since 1999. All ten books currently on the market have landed on the “New York Times” children’s best-seller list,
and the 11th book in the series is coming in September 2004.

Wide Window.”
