If you PM me with your details I will buy and ship to you. You will have to pay the cost (£1.25) plus shipping to me, plus shipping to you (guessing about £2.50). As you're not a regular here I'd be looking for this up-front.

Interesting fact (or not, as the case may be)

I own a towel as pictured on the cover.

That is one seriously cool towel! :happy: regarding the various H2G2II book covers, i had a relative bounce through the door one day, looking as pleased as punch. Taking a book out of his bag, he said "Check it out; a first edition hardback of The Restaurant At The End of The Universe! Got it from the local charity shop!"

I thought it was a major find until i doscovered it was a Book Club Associates printing. :sad: Lol!

I do have multiple copies of the directly-inspirational Observer commemorative sequel edition, as seen in diagram A along with the classic neon Milliways sign and four-part collectors cover edition the chap above was looking for. :smile:
