This title celebrates the thirty years of comic genius of Douglas Adams. 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 - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy . Its an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that hes an alien. At this moment, theyre hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the big, friendly words: Dont Panic. The weekend has only just begun. This title is volume one in the trilogy of five.
