Douglas Adams first introduced Earthlings to the phenomenal bestseller from the great publishing houses of Ursa Minor -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- in the first volume of his own hilarious Hitchhiker Trilogy. Now Neil Gaiman brings us Don't Panic, the outrageous chronicle of the Earthly existence of the Trilogy as a radio series, books, television series, stage plays, records, film, computer games, and, naturally, towels. Don't Panic also gives us the life and times of Douglas Adams, from unorthodox youth to international hitchhiker/chicken shed cleaner to intergalactic mega-star! It's all here:

*Never-before-published excerpts from Hitchhiker radio scripts
*Douglas Adams' early work with Monty Python, Dr. Who, and Snow Seven and the White Dwarfs
*The real-life models for Marvin the Paranoid Android, Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox
*The real reason that Arthur Dent wears a bathrobe and more! So grab a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, settle back and ... Don't Panic!

4.0 Don't Panic. Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Neil Gaiman

3.0 Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Companion
I gave it to chapter 10 to get interesting and new. At chapter 8 it did. A lot of the info in there was present in a more entertainly written form in THE SALMON OF DOUBT, but as I got deeper into the book there was more about behind-the-scenes Douglas Adams, his mad ideas that either do or should ...
