The book is amazing-- however I received a defective copy where page 8 had this strange black ink covering half the page, as seen in the photo. I ordered a replacement, and that replacement had the same issue. I'm keeping the second, as the text is at least slightly legible and the defect doesn't seem to have affected any other pages; though I could be wrong. Be careful purchasing this particular product.

The World's About to End and you had ONE JOB!!

Oh well. I guess in going to have to start flipping through pages when I buy books from here now. I didn't think to read the reviews BEFORE ordering, as I would read it no matter what people thought. Except in this case I would've seen that others received copies with blacked out pages, typos, etc. And now I find out that it's different than the original?! Here I am a month and half later starting to read it and now I can't return it....*sigh* Well, at least I know where my towel is.

At first, one might think it to be some sort of printing error, however the sentences after 308 and the beginning of 341 make no sense!!
All in all, it's a great book and you will definitely thank yourself for having read it, especially these days where one would find bat-$hit crazy 0-sense vampire love story hullabaloos mucking about.
Edit: So they have had a printing mishap. Pages 308 through 341 have been printed twice, and the rest of the book is alright (by far...)

Arthur Dent -
Dent is a human from the planet Earth. Arthur's home is due to be bulldozed by the local council. Little does he know that, simultaneously, the entire Earth is about to be bulldozed for a hyperspatial express route, by the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council.
Ford Prefect -
Ford is from a 'small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.' On Earth (Where he was stranded for 15 years) he imitated being an out-of-work actor. In reality, he is a roving researcher for the book, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
Zaphod Beeblebrox -
Zaphod is the (two-headed, three-armed) President of the Imperial Galactic Government. A title that he surrendered when he stole the Improbability Drive protype ship (i.e. Heart of Gold). He is also a "semi-cousin" of Ford Prefect.
Trillian (Tricia McMillan) -
Trillian is a Hitchhiker from Earth (like Arthur Dent, she is also human). She has a degree in maths and another in astrophysics. She met Zaphod at a fancy dress party.
However, we mustn't forget Marvin! A manic depressive 'Genuine People Personalities' prototype robot, who is also aboard Heart of Gold.
All in all, a fabulous series that I know I'll read again and again ... and again and again and again and again and again.
