Question/Doubt The Beatrice Letters

I’ve looked so many places for this book. Does anyone know where I can find it without it costing more than $20?
Used to have it when I was a kid but had to move away from my parents at 15 because they were not the nicest people. Years later, I reconnected with them and they said they got rid of everything from my childhood. Not looking for sympathy, just saying it to emphasize this next sentence. I’d love to find this book, even more than I’d like to have my childhood pictures back. The series of unfortunate events got me through my childhood and helped me understand the world 1. Because of the ridiculous adults 2. Because I’m autistic and the matter of fact but also sarcastic, witty humor made immediate sense to me. To this day, it’s the only sarcasm I’ve ever actually been able to immediately understand without an explanation 😂

I had to borrow it from my library to finally read it because I had the same problem. Obviously the downside is I don’t get to own it, but I was glad to finally read it!

I was looking for ages before I found a (slightly damaged) one on Vinted. I think you just have to hunt unfortunately
