Don't panic! It's only The Hitchhiker's Companion, a sourcebook for the HHGTTG - primarily in its radio incarnation, but also covering things from the books, the TV series and other sources, even the movie. As you'll see, I've given this one a slightly different look and feel to that of my previous sourcebooks, for reasons explained in the Introduction. The Hitchhiker's Companion can be downloaded free of charge here. Enjoy!  |

I must admit misterharry when you first mentioned you were planning on doing a Hitchhiker’s Sourcebook I wasn’t really sure if it would work. As you yourself admit a lot of the appeal of the series was in Adams’ turn of phrase and writing style but you really have pulled it off. And now I’m just planning on how I could incorporate Marvin into a campaign. |

Yes, there's no way that even on my very best day I could successfully emulate the style and wit of one of the 20th Century's great humourists, even for a single entry let alone a complete book. There are one or two extracts in which I've added or amended the text in a minor way for clarity, and I've tried to include a bit of humour when doing so, but that's about my limit. |

This is absolutely fantastic - I can't thank you enough for creating this! It really was my pleasure to do it - I had great fun listening to the episodes again and selecting suitable extracts and quotes to illustrate everything. I never get tired of revisiting the Hitchhiker's Guide. |
