Pan, London, 2005, 1^st pr.  ISBN 0-33043-798-4.  MMPB, 323+ pages.  Unread copy with a bit of edge wear and light rippling to fore-edges of a few first pages.  Two colour photo plate sections.  ‘One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.  For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be more than he can cope with.  Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun, and the galaxy is a very strange and startling place. … This combination of Douglas Adams’ classic novel with behind-the-scenes information is for all those who have been brought to Hitchhiker’s by the brilliant film adaptation – as well as for those who have loved it in its radio, novel and television incarnations.’ (from rear wrap)
