 Great Edition to add to your libriary December 14, 2007

I picked this edition of the ultimate guide to add to my libriary. It's a great collections of Douglas Adams Hitchhikers series in a decent quality binding. The cover is soft leather, and the pages are thin with a light gold guild. This Gramercy series of books are a relatively inexpensive series of leather bound editions, although not as high of quality as Easton or Franklin press editions.
For gift giving, this is the book! December 11, 2007

If you have someone who has asked for this book, this is is the edition to get! The book is leather bound and has gold tipped pages and a creme colored ribbon bookmark built into the book so you never loose your page. And if all that is not enough to impress you the price will, this is absolutely a steal!! You can't go wrong with this beautiful book!
This edition includes an intro, 5 Novels and one story:
Introduction of A Guide to the Guide (4 pages)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe and Everything
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
Young Zaphod Plays It Safe
Mostly Harmless

Inspired lunacy November 30, 2007
Possibly the best sci-fi comedy ever written. But toward the end of the series, it becomes so much more, as great plotting and rich characterization are thrown into the mix.
The first two books are just plain lunacy, short on plotting, but heavy on Adams' great comic dialogue and wacky sci-fi premises (three stars each). The third is just as crazy, but with the added bonus of a plot thrown in! And Arthur actually saves the universe for good measure (four stars). The fourth and fifth novels are much richer in characterization, and continue the great plotting of the third (four stars each). You can see my reviews of the individual books for more detail, but to make a long story short, this is definitely a series not to be missed!
beautiful and facinating! November 3, 2007

I've been looking for the complete hitchiker stories from Douglas Adams, and i'm very happy to have come across The Ultimate Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
the binding is pretty, the pages have gold-covered edges, and the hilarious adverntures of Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are all there.
i don't know if the other books have illustrations or not, but that wasn't something that mattered to me. if you're looking for illustrations, this book doesnt really have any except for the page that divides one hitchiker's saga from another. it's a pretty big books, so don't plan on reading it on the go.
but otherwise, it's great.
