Dear Reader, If you have just picked up this book, then it is not too late to put it back down. Like the previous books in A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, there is nothing to be found in these pages but misery, despair, and discomfort, and you still have time to choose something else to read. Within the chapters of this story, Violet, Klaus, and Su...
For Beatrice–When we met, my life began.Soon afterward, yours ended.The Baudelaire orphans are brought to their new guardians by Mr. Poe. As they approach 667 Dark Avenue, the Baudelaires' new home, they approach their new home: a huge penthouse. On the street however, there are huge, thick trees that block the sunlight. The doorman of the penthouse, who is dressed in a long coat that covers his hands, tells them t...
Beginning
Mr. Poe says he thinks the Quagmires are in the mountains, but Duncan nor Isadora were in the mountains. However, Quigley Quagmire was on the Mortmain Mountains with the Baudelaires in The Slippery Slope.
Final Picture
In the last picture of The Ersatz Elevator, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny appear sitting on the steps of Veblen Hall as Very Fancy Doilies fall through the air. A stray black crow can be seen flying across the scene.
Letter to the Editor
To My Kind Editor, I am sorry this paper is sopping wet, but I am writing this from the place where the Quagmire Triplets were hidden. The next time you run out of milk, buy a new carton at Cash Register #19 of the Not-Very-Supermarket. When you arrive home, you will find my description of the Baudelaires' recent experience in this dreadful town, entitled THE VILE VILLAGE, has been tucked into your grocery sack, along with a burnt-out torch, the tip of a harpoon, and a chart of the migration...

Name Allusions
1. Esmé Gigi Genevive Squalor's name is a reference to J.D. Salinger's short story "For Esmé - With Love and Squalor." Esmé's middle names may be referenced as well. Gigi may be a reference to the novella Gigi by French writer Colette, whose story follows a young Parisian girl, in training to be a courtesan, who later marries a wealthy man. Genevive may refer to American politician Coya Knutson. 2. Jerome Squalor shares the first name "Jerome" with author J.D.Salinger. Jerome Squalor convenie...
The book's spine color could be interpreted as being "salmon" pink or "salmon" red, and it may be a nod to the salmon at Café Salmonella.The UK cover has been criticized for spoiling the plot twist that Esmé is a villain and that she shoves the Baudelaires down the elevator.Several editions of The Ersatz Elevator have been published. Some of these include foreign editions or re-prints such as: The Ersatz Elevator (UK), The Ersatz Elevator (UK Paperback) and Ascenseur pour la Peur.
The children discover that the extra elevator is "ersatz", fake, and consists of nothing but an empty shaft. They climb down the shaft, to find the two Quagmire triplets trapped in a cage at the bottom of the shaft.
