After a long time since first hearing bits of the radio series, and after seeing the TV series tribute week on BBC 2 a year or so ago, I've finally gone ahead and splashed out on buying the radio series!
It comes with all 12 episodes, 2 special edition ('The Collector's Edition') Documentuary-style CDs - Douglas Adams` Guide to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a special edition history booklet and a nice Collector's Edition presentation box. I'm pretty sure it's the one that the h2g2 (or the Beeb's Cult TV site - I can't quite remember) gave away in a competition a while ago - it looks the same anyway.. According to my visual memory of it, which granted is very, very vague.
Each CD has its own sleeve which fits inside the box with a clear window revealing the 'screen' image on the sleeve. (The whole box set is in the graphical style of that wholly remarkable book. 
)
CDs 1-6 have the twelve episodes on them, and CDs 7 & 8 are the documentuary programmes; First, a 'history of' programme styled with a sort of play-on the introduction of the radio series itself, and a radio interview on Radio Four which Douglas did.
I also bought myself 'The Deeper Meaning of Liff'.
By the way - BBCShop has it for around £40 (£42.42, if I remember rightly. 
), but I bought it for around £32 from Amazon.
