We have more by Douglas Adams! "Back on Earth with nothing more to show for his long, strange trip through time and space than a ratty towel and a plastic shopping bag, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription, the mysterious disappearance of Earth's dolphins, and the discovery of his battered copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy all conspire to give Arthur the sneaking suspicion that something otherworldly is indeed going on. God only knows what it all means. And fortunately, He left behind a Final Message of explanation. But since it's light-years away from Earth, on a star surrounded by souvenir booths, finding out what it is will mean hitching a ride to the far reaches of space aboard a UFO with a giant robot. But what else is new?"

Book summary

This bestselling work of humorous science fiction is the fourth installment in the Hitchhiker's series. THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, the first book in the series, began with the complete destruction of Earth to clear space for a galactic highway. But now the Earth has returned, as if it had never been gone. What happened and who's responsible? Dressing-gown-clad Earthman Arthur Dent (who escaped from the Earth's purported demolition eight years ago) and his newfound true love, Fenchurch, attempt to discover the answers to these and to other pressing questions. Meanwhile, many light-years away, Arthur's wacky Betelgeusian pal, Ford Prefect, a writer for that amazingly useful and often apocryphal book, THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, is shocked to discover that his original lengthy coverage on the Earth, which had been edited down to two words ("Mostly Harmless"), has been reinstated, and he decides to find out why.
