Now celebrating the pivotal 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the
Galaxy! Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great
American Read It’s an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent . . . until
his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after to make way for a
