The Hitchhiker'S Guide To The Galaxy

Bought it on a whim and don't regret it a bitCould have been chaper for the quality of the bookThe spine gets a split on it during my second read

The mass market paperback is a small poorly presented incarnation of this classic.If time permits, order the full paperback which at the time of writing had a 10-14day delivery estimate, verses the mass market paperback that was available for same day delivery with Prime.

The website says that it has more than 400 pages but it does not

great book

C'est un livre, qui contient des pages, qui contiennent du texte. Texte qui raconte l'histoire qu'il est censé raconter. Bref, bien quoi.

This book is hilarious, I had to LOL three times on page one.

First I think someone should correct the review below saying the book was separated, incase someone gets confused. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was of course a single volume to which there are four sequals with different titles, and of course there are editions which collect all five under the title of the first.The review doesn't seem to mention that the one he bought claimed to be a collected edition, but that research he suggests should lead most people to expect that if it is not mentioned to contain give books then you are getting the first book in a single volume (not "separated", but not collected with the others).I don't say any of this in mean spirit, just incase anyone misunderstands that review to assume the FIRST book was divided in five here.Anyway. the story is great :) excellent. possibly "essential" reading, and it seems to be all here. I bought the Mass Market Paperback editions of the original trilogy (OF THREE) published by Del Ray and, as I should have expected, they aren't so great. very thin covers, very narrow borders which make it a little uncomfortable to read and mean that where you have to open it so wide the spine probably won't last many readings as the books themselves seem to be made pretty cheaply.it's not terrible and not bad for half the price of the standard (much nicer) paperbacks, but if you want editions that will last to be read many times, I'd go for the pricier editions. I'm only deducting a single star as they're not terrible and of course the contents of the book are 5 star without question!If like me you are only interested in the first three books, then Gollancz has some nice (and not too chunky) hardback editions for around the same price as the current main paperbacks as part of their excellent SF Masterworks collection, and it seems they have just released a new edition of this first book in their latest style with new art, so I am assuming the other two will follow in the not-too-distant future. I'm going to return these flimsy paperbacks and collect these new Gollancz editions as they come out (but they are very unlikely to have either 'So Long and Thanks for All the Fish' or 'Mostly Harmless' in that same line, so if you're a collector type who wants them all uniform, best go for the nice paperback box set :) )

Tenía un buen rato queriendo comprarlo, pero no me decidía si ir por la versión en Inglés o traducida al español. Al final me quedé con la versión en inglés para poder disfrutar las ideas como las quiso transmitir el autor y no me ha decepcionado hasta el momento. Cabe mencionar que utiliza muchas palabras que rara vez había escuchado, por lo que es recomendable tener el diccionario a la mano para aquellos no tan conocedores del idioma.
