42; The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams, Kevin Jon Davies, Signed Collector's Edition, with wraparound poster

A substantial and visually impressive celebration of the imagination and legacy of Douglas Adams, bringing together a wide-ranging exploration of the author's ideas, humour, unfinished concepts, and creative world-building. Compiled and edited by Kevin Jon Davies - long closely associated with Adams' work and the visual history of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - the volume combines rare material, artwork, commentary, production history, and previously unpublished concepts into a richly illustrated tribute to one of the most original comic science fiction writers of the twentieth century.
