Description

On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity. This was of course The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But this was just the beginning. We followed the adventures of hapless protagonist, Arthur Dent and his alien side-kick, Ford Prefect, across a trilogy of five books: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. And this merry spacewagon, featuring a flying sofa, a Paranoid Android, a gift-wrapped fishbowl, bath towels and much else besides, became an instant classic. Now, for the first time, we are publishing all five books in the Hitchhiker's series, as an ebook omnibus. Praise for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series'It changed my whole life. It's literally out of this world' Tom Baker'Really entertaining and fun' Michael Palin'It is funny and funny in every way . . . it is the sort of humour which crops up from time to time and immediately find its own level, its own audience' Daily Telegraph'Indispensable reading for mental hitch-hikers who want to thumb a lift out of the ruts of orthodox thought . . .science fiction that is very intelligently amusing, or very amusingly intelligent' Daily Mail

  • My 2 Cents: What can I write that no one else has? Not much. what I can say that is I am overjoyed that my copy of this tome, coincidentally/unintentially, has a foam stuffed leather cover, so it can and has been used as a pillow for this weary traveler and would make a great addotion to the "book" in the story.

  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a life-changing read for me in high school. It would affect how I looked at writing for the next 22 years and will probably continue to do so for the rest of my life. The book was incredibly funny, the dialogue was great and it was all absolutely ridiculous. However, it was never a parody of itself and Adams made sure you cared about what happened to the characters and the story.Great book. A must-read for any sci-fi fan. Oh, and the rest of the books are pretty darn excellent, as well. :)

  • It's the first book in his trilogy of 5 and it was apsolutly amazing. I can't believe I've wait this long to read these books. If you haven't read this book you must. I can't remember the last time I've laughed out this much while reading a book. My fiance has read them, as they are his books, so when ever he hears crack up he wants to know what part I'm at. It is such a refreshing read.
