The Salmon of Doubt is Douglas Adams' essential guide to life, the universe, and everything. It includes stories and eleven chapters of a Dirk Gently novel that Douglas Adams was working on at the time of his death, and features an introduction by Stephen Fry.

This exceptional collection draws from the spirit and wisdom of the man behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, revealing his unique comedic thoughts on everything from his school trousers to whiskey and from the letter Y to his nose, through atheism, drunken states, and fried eggs.

These humorous collections reveal the warmth, enthusiasm, and keen intelligence behind the most English of comedic writers, a man who was almost an honorary member of the Monty Python team.

Douglas Adams' desire for P. G. Wodehouse, the Beatles, and the perfect coffee makes this collection essential and a remarkable sign-off from one of the best-loved writers of all time.
