Happy Towel Day!

One of the earliest books we bonded over here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library was Douglas Adams’ profoundly comic and comically profound trilogy in (at least) four parts, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and we have definitely known where our towels are ever since.

Towel Day is celebrated every year on May 25 as a tribute to Adams. It was first celebrated in 2001, two weeks after his death on May 11.

For our contribution this year, we are delighted to share a gallery of some of our many copies and versions of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, including a book of the original radio scripts, a DVD of of the BBC television adaptation (including an excellent troubleshooting note… it’s all about the little touches…), and the DIY cover edition (it comes with stickers!).

Happy Hitchhiking and make sure you know where your towel is!
