Young Zaphod Plays It Safe is not a Hitch-Hiker's novel - it was a short story written by Douglas for the Comic Relief book which he co-edited.

The novels in the series are:
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, The Universe, and Everything
So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish
Mostly Harmless

Thank you. I didn't realise that it was written for Comic Relief. It has however been included in the Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide. Is there any real relevance to the other stories?

Stop balancing the statistics. Now you're going to make me go check, aren't you? That was very dirty of you, I've got to say. I would have been perfectly fine knowing I was right if you hadn't suggested that I could just as easily be completely wrong. Damn it.

Right. Well, if it does say, I haven't the patience to find it. I've read this stuff already. It's no fun anymore. We're just going to have to wait until someone we can trust comes by to settle this for us.

Peta

Quote from the FAQ at the www.douglasadams.com website: -
By the way, his name is Douglas Noel Adams, so around here we often call him
DNA for short. He was born March 11, 1952, in Cambridge. For more off-line
info about DNA you can't beat Don't Panic by Neil Gaiman.
