quickly established itself as the definitive companion to his life and work. This newly revised edition comes right up to date, covering Adams’s recent work, his untimely death in May 2001, and posthumous publications.

Liff
, the Universe of Dirk Gently, and everything else Douglas ever worked on, including his posthumous collection
The Salmon of Doubt
