The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Illustrated Edition
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Illustrated Edition | Douglas Adams
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
'One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius' David Walliams Gorgeous 42nd Anniversary gift edition of Douglas Adams's pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, stunningly illustrated throughout by Costa Award-winner Chris Riddell. 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 Arthur's best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and a book inscribed in large, friendly letters: DON'T PANIC. The book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the weekend has only just begun . . . Douglas Adams's mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with physics and twists time, but most importantly it's very, very funny.

Weirdly delightful! I went into the book knowing almost nothing of it, except that 42 was important to something. Now I want to watch the movie!

mabell I love the movie too! 2y

julesG @rockpools Tried that. Failed miserably. Pre-ordered the book faster than I could close Instagram, where Chris Riddell showed the book in March. 3y
GingerAntics @rockpools @julesG you tried? I didn‘t even do that? I preordered immediately. I knew instantly it was just going to be part of the book budget for the month. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3y
GingerAntics Mine doesn‘t say 42nd anniversary edition, either. Oh well. I‘m just happy to have such a lovely edition of this book. I was trying to pick which one I wanted to get when you originally posted this. Clearly I was meant to have this edition. 3y
julesG @GingerAntics For about 2 nanoseconds, I tried. 😉 3y
GingerAntics @julesG I bet that was 2 nanoseconds of epic self control. You deserved a reward for all that effort… like this book. 😇 3y
julesG @GingerAntics You get me! 😍 3y
GingerAntics @julesG 💙💙💙 3y
Oryx You'll have to share some pictures of the illustrations when you get to them. Looks so cool. 3y

julesG Wow. You got the hard cover edition. 😍 3y
GingerAntics @julesG the was the only one available when I preordered. The paperback showed up as an option last week maybe, but by then I‘d budgeted for the hardcover and preordered it, so I figured I‘d just stick with iy. 3y

I need to read more books, because I don't want to end up in the reds. #PennyPerPage @dariazeoli

GingerAntics Did you read enough pages to get this? 3y
julesG @GingerAntics Yes. It arrived last week. Didn't I share a picture? Brain like a sieve. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG how did you get yours early?? 3y
julesG @GingerAntics The UK release day was April 29th, the day it arrived at my home. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG that sucks!!! Then again, we tend to get everything else early around here, so I suppose turn around is fair play. It was weird we didn‘t have the paperback option until the last minute either. 3y
