About The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects. First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly, it has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.
This wholly remarkable book has been compiled and recompiled many times over many years and under many different editorships. Containing over 5,973,509 contributions, it is described as a very unevenly edited book and contains many passages that simply seemed to its editors like a good idea at the time. Most of the actual work got done by any passing stranger who happened to wander into the empty offices one afternoon and saw something worth doing.
