Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series Wild satire . . . The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes.--Chicago Tribune The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the galaxy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert universal Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it Adams is one of those rare treasures: an author who, one senses, has as much fun writing as one has reading.--Arizona Daily Star.…

Zustand: FINE. First US printing. The Cosmic Conclusion to the Hitchhiker's Trilogy - except the series continued - 227 pp. Fine in very near fine dust jacket (folded slightly off center - original price of 9.95 still present).

Zustand: Near fine in near fine jacket. First Edition. Inscribed association first US edition of the first, but not the last, conclusion to the five-book Hitchhiker's trilogy, presented by Adams at Toronto's International Festival of Authors at Harbourfront to Greg Gatenby, the Festival's founding artistic director. The plot of the third Hitchhiker's book was once intended for a multi-part Doctor Who arc (rejected); though it was later subjected to a radio adaptation, it was never produced as part of the original Hitchhiker's TV series, and its bleak pessimism has a peculiar charm. The US edition famously replaced certain four-letter expletives with euphemisms, presumably out of some misguided idea of cultural consideration, even as any number of jokes concerning the rules of cricket were left intact. This copy was one of the many signed and inscribed books amassed by Gatenby during his two-decade tenure as festival director, representing "the growth of a literary culture in the city of Toronto over many years" (Caldwell). 7'' x 4.75''. Original black cloth stamped in metallic green. Purple endpapers. In original unclipped ($9.95) pictorial dust jacket by Peter Cross. 227, [1] pages. Inscribed by Adams "to Greg" [Gatenby] on title page. Gatenby's ownership signature to front free endpaper. Two small indentations to top edge of front board. Minor edgewear to jacket, with single tape repair to verso. Bright. Signed.…
