This beautifully illustrated edition of the New York Times bestselling classic celebrates the 42nd anniversary of the original publication—with all-new art by award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell.

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.

Now, if you could only figure out the question. . . .

Same with me. Had to check my kindle. Been dragging the big book to kids karate classes. Wish it was the whole collection though since I'm halfway through Hitchhikers guide. Don't care about the pictures.

Oh, $9.99 for whole set. Nice. Have lots of slow ship credits from Christmas shopping.

9.99 for the set? Where do you see that?

A long time ago, there was a device called a wikireader that would have all the text content of wikipedia stored on it.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiReader
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.

The illustration appears to be 1 page per chapter. I thought this was a fully illustrated version. Oh well.
A graphic novel this is not

No illustrations

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.
