This is an auction for SO LONG, AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH by Douglas Adams.

Amazon. com review:

"FIVE STARS!!! This book, the fourth in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Trilogy, is, hands down, the best. I was astonished and amazed by what this volume had to offer. Adams manages to mix in his humour with a very touching romance and somewhat serious quest of epic proportion. The best part about this novel is that it features Arthur, and that's it... at least out of the main characters. Ford shows up a bit, and Marvin is in the last chapter. Zaphod and Trillian are missing, but don't worry, it hardly matters. Adams more than makes up for it by introducing a marvellous character named Fenchurch, who becomes a love interest for Arthur. A love interest for Arthur? Yes. This book establishes Adams as a serious heavyweight. The levels of humour, romance, irony, wonder, and adventure are consistently high throughout. Besides, we finally get to take a really good look at Arthur (who had been short-changed in the last two books), the most human character I have ever encountered anywhere, and we get to see a bit of the earth, which Adams makes us realize is rather a funny place in itself. Do not miss out on this book. Please. Read it for Arthur. Read it for Fenchurch. Read it for the Rain God. And definitely, definitely, read it for the most wonderful love scene ever written. Besides, if you make it to the end, you'll be rewarded with God's final message to His creation, written in letters of flame thirty feet high (quite the tourist attraction). It's worlds above all the others."
