I adore Hitchhiker's Guide, so I was curious what the illustrated version had to offer. The pictures and illustrations were fun to look at, and, of course, a big sparkly cover is always exciting. I didn't think they added anything to the story, though. The story itself makes this book amazing, but I think my picture-less paperback is just as good.

It was certainly a great excuse to revisit my favorite book (and with a new layout!), but I don't think it's necessary. Perhaps a good coffee table book. ( )

This is the truely definative edition of the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy, with fabulous illustrations and artwork. ( )
