2006 The End | A Series of Unfortunate Events Book the Thirteenth | Lemony Snicket | First Edition First Printing Hardcover

The thirteenth and final book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, The End brings the Baudelaire children’s long, strange, and increasingly mysterious journey to its conclusion. After years of Count Olaf, secret organizations, unanswered questions, terrible guardians, and one unfortunate event after another, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves stranded on an island where nothing is quite as simple as it first seems. Darkly funny, clever, and full of the series’ signature wordplay and mystery, this is an especially fun copy for a fan completing the series or collecting the original hardcovers.

Condition:
Used, Very Good. Binding intact and tight. Boards clean with sharp corners and only minor edge wear. Small mark to the spine cloth and light rubbing at the spine tail. Page edges show light toning consistent with age; text block otherwise clean. Interior pages unmarked. Blank Ex Libris bookplate. No dust jacket, as issued in illustrated boards. A well-kept copy of a true first printing.

Price note:
This is a true first edition, first printing, confirmed by the “First Edition” statement and the complete number line beginning with 1. That makes it more desirable than the much more common later-printing copies of The End. Comparable first-printing hardcovers are often listed in the $25–$40+ range, depending on condition. At $10, this stays below many collector and dealer asking prices while still reflecting that it is a genuine first printing rather than an ordinary modern hardcover.
