Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Companion

Douglas Adams first introduced Earthlings to the phenomenal bestseller from the great publishing houses of Ursa Minor-- <i>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-</i>- in the first volume of his own hilarious <i>Hitchhiker Trilogy.</i> Now Neil Gaiman brings us <i>Don't Panic</i>, the outrageous chronicle of the Earthly existence of the Trilogy as radio series, books, television series, stage plays, records, film, computer games and, naturally, towels. <i>Don't Panic</i> 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: <br> Never-before-published excerpts from <i>Hitchhiker</i> radio scripts. <br> Douglas Adams' early work with <i>Monty Python, Dr. Who,</i> and <i>Snow Seven and the White Dwarfs</i> <br> The real-life models for Marvin the Paranoid Android, Ford Prefect, and Zaphod Beeblebrox <br> The real reason that Arthur Dent wears a bathrobe, and more! <br> So grab a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, settle back and... DON'T PANIC! <br> <p>Told in the same fanciful, irreverent style as the Hitchhiker trilogy, with scraps of scripts, letters and comments from Adams, Don't Panic is the perfect companion to one of the most successful series in publishing history. </p>
