Deal Details
Various Digital Retailers have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Illustrated Edition (eBook) by Douglas Adams on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor powerfuldoppler for sharing this deal.

Available Retailers: About this title:
  • Page Length: 304 pages
  • 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
  • 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...

There's also a large variety in the different radio versions. Jokes that aren't in other versions. I need to hunt down my old mp3s and make sure they are in a safe place like a 'stick out your thumb' drive.

I would recommend getting the whole five-part trilogy :
  • The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
  • The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
  • Life, the Universe and Everything
  • So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
  • Mostly Harmless
I remember getting as an e book circa 1992 (one of the very first ebooks, as a windows program)

Ahh, too bad! But the 2005 movie was really, really good. So we have that, at least. (The one with Martin Freeman, Sam Rockwell and Zooey Deschanel)
