Douglas Adams´s mega-selling cult classic with additional material from the Adams archives, and a foreword by former Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies.

The intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent begin in the first volume of the ´trilogy of five´, Douglas Adams´ comedy sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy. This edition, with a metallic sheen cover, includes exclusive bonus material from the Douglas Adams archives, and an introduction by former Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies.

On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity - The Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy.

It´s an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and his best friend has just announced that he´s an alien. At this moment, they´re hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed, in large friendly letters, with the words: DON´T PANIC.

The weekend has only just begun . . .

Follow Arthur Dent´s galactic (mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.
