The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. Perhaps the
most remarkable, certainly the most successful book ever to come out of the
great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor - of which no Earthman had ever
heard of. More popular than 'The Celestial Home Care Omnibus', better selling
than 'Fifty-three More Things to do in Zero Gravity', and more controversial
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'?
It's already supplanted the Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of
all knowledge and wisdom, for two important reasons. First, it's slightly
cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON'T PANIC printed in large friendly
letters on its cover.
