有同城的小伙伴么？？

there was a buy two get one free sale on kodansha manga at barnes and noble, which I stopped by on my way home from working an extra day so I could afford to order some of the try kirby and itsdemo goods that just came out. an expensive but happy day XD

That’s an excellent question, @orestes-bxudelxire. All we know is that Olaf’s allies made sure that Kit was fired from Prufrock as soon as she started handing out ASOUE books to her students. One of Olaf’s allies uses excerpts from “The Reptile Room” to track down Monty’s surviving reptiles.

It can be assumed that some of the students read them, and the Baudelaire orphans do recognize some of their old classmates in the slave crew of the Carmelita… Is it possible that they were kidnapped because they knew too much? Kit also kidnapped/recruited two orphans for special V.F.D. training before she was fired, so it can be assumed that they read some of them as well. This all happened some time between “The Austere Academy” and “The Carnivorous Carnival”.

I would argue that Mrs Bass read these books as well, there’s a big theory on that (Link).

Another possibility to consider is that the the Snicket file was actually the working draft of the series. Lemony sends several rough drafts of “The Bad Beginning’” to Bass. Given that the Man With Beard But No Hair and the Woman With Hair But No Beard end up getting their hands on the file, it’s highly probable that they know the ASOUE books exist.

All in all the first publication of the earlier books was, in Lemony’s own reality, pretty rough. But it can be assumed that a good number of people did read them. The Baudelaire orphans didn’t know somebody was writing a book about their lives… but hey, they’re always the last ones to learn anything.
