The omnibus edition of The Hitchhiker's Trilogy contains the entire text of all three books, a new introduction by Douglas Adams and new artwork created especially for this edition. The trilogy includes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - in which Arthur Dent, an Earthling, is plucked off the Earth by his friend Ford Prefect seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe - where the floorshow is doomsday and Arthur and Ford are joined for dinner by Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the Universe, and Life, The Universe and Everything which answers the burning questions raised in the first two books and reveals the question to the Ultimate Answer: the number 42.
