Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. New; signed by author. See scans and description. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1999. This is a stated First Edition, though this a later printing. 'The Bad Beginning. Book the First of A Series of Unfortunate Adventures', by Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler). Illustrations by Brett Ha…lquist.12 mo, illustrated 3/4 semi-gloss illustrated boards with navy blue cloth spine which is imprinted in white, 172 pp. (7 + 162 + 3). Issued signed, and issued without jacket. New. Signature is on the second free endpaper, as "D. Handler", and box there is checked as "Official Representative" (for Lemony Snicket, though Handler, of course, IS in fact Snicket). Dated stamped on same page, by publisher, "Nov 25 2016". Confusing, to be sure - but Handler handled signing in a seeming plethora of ways. He is playful in some of the variant details in the different printings of this otherwise identical edition (ISBN 0064407667, on the copyright page): the frontis in this example is different from the other one listed by us; the Alternate ISBN (at the bottom of rear cover) is also different for the two examples; and the signature page varies between them. How many other details might vary, and how often among the many printings - well, we haven't made a study of that. Maybe it means something. The Bad Beginning is the first of thirteen titles in the children's fiction series "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (now also a Netflix series, of course), about newly-orphaned Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course; not a bag. L7n. Brett Helquist (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
