description: You're lonely. You're light years from home. You're having problems understanding the natives. You got smashed on Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters last night. And your inter-galactic hitch hiking skills are decidedly rusty.DON'T PANICTHIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOUMore popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than Fifty-three More Things to do in Zero Gravity, and more controversal than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes and Who Is This God Person Anyway. When Arthur Dent, hungover and half-shaven, is dragged to the pub for several swift pints by Ford Perfect one Thursday morning, little does he realise that the demolition of Earth is scheduled just twelve minutes away. With Ford, roving correspondent for The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and old hand at thumbing lifts from flying saucers, Arthur's startling galantic exploits are just beginning... The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is at last published in panoramic, earth shattering, hyper-hysterical format, illustrated in glorious technicolour, bringing alive horridly quivering Vogon monster flesh and vividly throbbing space craft by means of revolutionary digital graphic 'paintbox' technology. All this, and other examples of humanoid wizardry, ensure no insane earthling will resist this new incarnation of a cult classic.
