All but one volume, THE PENULTIMATE PERIL (12), bear the author's characteristic blindstamp, the first two additionally dated, but the remainder inscribed in various ways to, or embellished for, two close friends, one of whom supplies a name for a character in the final chapter of THE GRIM GROTTO (so referenced in Handler's inscription - "To Kit in Chapter 13 25.X.2004 and Joe, six books back"), and are collectively thanked in different ways in several volumes, such as "without whose help." THE SLIPPERY SLOPE has a post-it of conveyance from Handler, signed "D.," and the inscription includes "who ought to know better." Also present, but not inscribed, is a copy of THE BLANK BOOK, the "Magnets for Misfortune" refrigerator magnet, and THE MISFORTUNE TELLING CARDS (envelope worn, with ink notes on one panel). The author's immensely successful chef d'oeuvre to date, the sourcework for the award winning 2004 film, the 2004 video game reprising several of the same actors voices, and the 2017 television series.
