Shelfology Book Pairing

by Douglas Adams

Just before the Earth is demolished to make way for a new hyperspatial expressway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect from the planet Betelgeuse and begins his hitch-hiking misadventures throughout the universe.

by Douglas Adams

Only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of the total annihilation of the universe. They are Arthur Dent, homeless Englishman currently marooned in the deep past; his friend Ford Prefect, temporarily insane to see if he likes it, also marooned; Slartibartfast, once of the planet builders of Magrathea; Zaphod Beeblebrox, ex-confidence trickster and part-time galactic president; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. In other words: we're doomed.
