'The history of the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is now so complicated that every time I tell it I contradict myself, and whenever I do get it right I'm misquoted. So, the publication of this omnibus edition seemed like a good opportunity to set the record straight -- or at least firmly cooked.'
First a legendary radio series, then a bestselling paperback, the highly successful Hit Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy needs no introduction. the Omnibus edition is reissued to coincide with the publication of the fifth part of the trilogy, Mostly Harmless, along with A Guide to the Guide and essential notes on How to Leave the Planet. This single hardback edition is indispensable for any would-be galactic traveler, and for Douglas Adams fans everywhere.
