"The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor...More popular than The Celestial Home Care Omnibus, Better selling than Fifty-three More Things to do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolon Coluphid trilogy of philosophical blockbusters Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes, and Who is This God Person Anyway?...In many of the more relaxed civilizations...in the Galaxy it has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate...it is slightly cheaper, and it has the words"DON'T PANIC" inscribed in large, friendly letters on it's cover".
The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy is the creation of Douglas Adams. It is a "trilogy" of 5 books: The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaraunt at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe, and Everything; So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish, and, Mostly Harmless. It was also a very short-lived British T.V. & Radio series. Follow the mapcap adventures of Aurthur Dent, an Earthman rescued in the last few seconds before the planet was destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass. This hapless young man, who never could get the hang of Thursdays, will learn how to travel the universe on less than 30 Altarian dollars a day only to discover that the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everthing, is----42. Follow along, but don't forget your towell!
