SOON TO BE A HULU SERIES • "An astonishing comic writer."—Neil Gaiman
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read
It's an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent . . . until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur's best friend has just announced that he's an alien.
After that, things get much, much worse.
With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the book is
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover.
Douglas Adams's mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches . . . and, most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Sorry, didn't see the response. 👍
I hacked mine so when you powered it up, the main screen said don't panic and had the smiley logo on it. Was really a cool device.

Not having illustrations is better in my opinion. I read the original books using my imagination and it was awesome. Then a few years later I found out about the radio version. Thought I hit gold. Ends up I hated the radio version and also the movie. The voice overs were hacky and cheesy, and so was the art and imagery. In hindsight 'm so d*** glad I read all the books 1st. And I read them all 3 times.
Another great thing about these books is the written out about 5th grade reading level. That sounds like a big negative But it was a positive. Adams created a lush complex universe using simple English.
If you've never read a book covered a cover before this is an excellent choice. All the books and the series are masterpieces. So when you finish the 1st book you're gonna want more and there is more right there.
