Description: Signed first American edition of the sequel to THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. . The second of Adams's five Hitchhiker's Guide novels, in which the end of the world is considered from several vantage points and a robot is depressed for several million years.

Original quarter blue cloth with black paper boards, stamped in metallic purple. In original unclipped dust jacket, with jacket painting by Peter Cross and typography by Ken Sansone. [6], 250 pages. Inscribed on title page: "To Jim Hill / Best Wishes / Douglas Adams". 3'' x 5'' color photograph of Adams circa 1980 laid in. Only minor touches of wear to jacket.

Condition: Fine
Description: First American edition, first printing. Signed by Douglas Adams on the half-title page, directly below a red rubber stamp that reads "Always know where your towel is." Bound in publisher's black paper-covered boards over turquoise cloth spine, with titles stamped in metallic pink. Fine, in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light shelf wear. To quote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a towel, of course, "is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have," as Adams maintains a hitchhiker who knows where their towel is likely has come prepared with an assortment of other items, such as a toothbrush, and therefore is in control of their situation. Fans of Adams celebrate Towel Day every May 25th, paying tribute to the author by carrying around a towel. A stunning copy of the sequel to Hitchhiker's Guide. Scarcely found signed.
