I promise...last I'll say on this thread....

Nope don't have the photo version...I'll have to look for it.  I have the
rest though...except for the scripts...will have to look for that as well.
Yes, the TV Show/Mini-series/Movie...is the same thing.  However, I do have
the commercial releases of both the movie (video tape) and the audio tapes.

I have Titanic...which I reviewed for Gamecent when it came out...but sorry,
don't have an extra.  I also have a copy of Infocom's HHGG game signed by
Steve Meretzky (but not Adams).

Oh, yeah?!  Well I have at least one copy of all the books, the radio
series recorded off NPR, the TV show recorded off PBS (I think this is
what you call the "movie."), the radio scripts book, and _Don't
Panic_ (a book about HHGG).  Oh, and the Infocom game, of course. 8)
I also picked up the Dirk Gently books (although I still haven't read
the second and didn't care for the first), _Last Chance to See_,
Bureaucracy, and a beat up copy of _The Meaning of Liff_. 8p  Now I
just need to get Starship Titanic.  (Anyone got a spare?)

Sorry.  My competitive nature got the best of me there for a minute.
Do you have the photo version of HHGG?  It was a big hardback and sold
for $42.00.  Came out in the mid-1990s, I think.  I didn't get it as I
was a poor college student or newlywed at that point.

I forget what got me interested in the series, but I think it was
around middle school or high school.  BTW, if you're a Hitchhiker's
fan, you need to read this story at DNA's site:
