First Edition, First Printings of the initial trilogy. A fantastic collector's set! Douglas Adams’s celebrated Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series has been a beloved cult hit since 1979. The series follows the adventures of average Earthman Arthur Dent, who is thrown into the wider universe when the Earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. On his extraordinary journey Arthur must deal with depressed robots, hyper intelligent mice and sulky teenagers, all while searching for the meaning of life and a decent cup of tea. Starting life as a cult BBC radio serial, this unlikely publishing phenomenon has since appeared in a myriad of forms: a TV series, a video game, a play, a big budget movie and a bath towel. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series is a truly unique masterpiece of science fiction.
