About this product

Product Information

Packed with an Astounding Amount of New and Never-Before-Collected Material. Why are people born? Why do they die? Why do they want to spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches? No one but Douglas Adams could have pared life's meaning down to these three questions, and they remain as inspired and head-scratchingly clever today as they did twenty-five years ago when they appeared in the first edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . Showcasing his quick wit, comic genius, and wide-ranging intelligence, Hitchhiker's has become nothing less than a cult classic and cultural phenomenon. To celebrate its quarter century and the extraordinary legacy of Adams, this gorgeously designed, mostly harmless deluxe edition gathers never-before-collected photographs, original artwork, memorabilia (from the strange to the sublime), and wisdom gleaned from a first read or first encounter as Douglas's friends remember how the galaxy was forever changed a mere twenty-five years ago (not to mention the original text of the novel) into a one-of-a-kind Guide as stunning as two suns setting over Magrathea. Whether you are well versed in the antics of Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered Earthman plucked from his planet seconds before it's demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, and Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy posing as an out-of-work actor, or are hitching a ride for the first time, this is the book that has everything you'll nee to know about anything.So please do not be alarmed. Definitely don't panic. Just be sure to grab a towel.

I didn't get it
Let me start by saying that I LOVED the movie. Usually, when you enjoy a movie you are bound to hold to the old cliche "the movie was good but the book was better". In this case, although the book was okay, I thought the movie was much better. The book was funny in parts and obviously was the inspiration for a hilarious movie, but on the whole, I was disappointed with the book. If you enjoyed the movie, I would recommend the book just for a different slant on the story. Apparently, people have been talking about this book for years. I guess I just don't understand how the book falls so flat with such a great writer. The story, the characters, the imagination, all was well done, but at the end of the book, I was just left feeling empty. I couldn't believe it. The book just ended abruptly. There was no real climax and no resolution. Maybe you have to read the other "Hitchhikers" books to get the whole story. I don't know if I will take the time. So, just an average read that was made in to a fantastic movie.Read full review

Must-Have For Hoopy Froods
The 25th anniversary edition is a must-have for the true H2G2 fan who knows where his towel is. The background stories are nice but the photo collection of memorabilia is what makes it stand out.

Simply the Greatest Book Ever
I'm not going to try to explain Hitchiker, or Douglas Adams' great sense of humor. Instead I am going to explain how this differs from the regular book. Basically it is just more colorful and has some great photos in the beginning that show some obscure memorabilia items available through the years. If you just have the paperback now, upgrade to this one. It is an upgraded version of a great book.

Strange and cool!
A weird love story!? This was suprisingly well done novel. I think its a love story with all the questions about why we are here all rolled up in one. A very good and different read. Recommended. Try also the movie, equally a confounding.
