And Another Thing ... - Waterstone's Exclusive: Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Part Six of Three

Synopsis

Waterstone's exclusive. Be one of only 500 people in the UK to get your hands on this exclusive special boxed edition of And Another Thing. Yes, you read that right. A book in a box. But not just any box. A box that features flashing neon lights. And makes a noise. And not just any common or garden book, either. This book has a dust jacket made out of a small towel. A blue towel at that. So when you're crying with laughter you can dab those tears away. Really. And what's more, we've got Eoin Colfer to sign each and every one of these sequentially numbered editions. There really is nothing like it on Earth, or anywhere else in the known (or unknown) universe. "And Another Thing ..." will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the author's widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling children's writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the "Artemis Fowl" novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, 'I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth "Hitchhiker" book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number'. Belson said of Eoin Colfer, 'I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new.' Colfer, a fan of "Hitchhiker" since his schooldays, said, 'Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world.' Prepare to be amazed...
