Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right group. I have been searching the internet for weeks now and cannot find this specific edition. It is part of 4 paperbacks that each have 4 quadrants on the front cover. By organizing the quadrants in different orders, you get to see different pictures (yellow fish, red/white towel, face, space ship (heart of gold?).
ISBN 10 0330262130
ISBN 13 9780330262132
Does anyone have an idea where I can get that? I have only seen it on sale as part of a special edition, signed by Douglas Adams across the first front covers for more than USD1,000. Unfortunately, that's a bit above my budget.
Where can I find this copy for sale?
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Bas

mean. It was sold as individuals and also as a box set back in the day.
I'd assume they would be findable in secondhand bookshops or ebay, with
a bit of patience. I'd not expect them to be expensive. They were a mass
printed paperback.

ngl, that sounds cool. No way would I pay that much, but if there is
a URL handy, I'd love to see a pic of it! :D
Good luck!

Thanks for your reaction. I'll keep looking. Patience is a virtue they say...
The signed set of the 4 books was for sale at abebooks.com

If the URL doesn't work, then search for "The Trilogy of Four ALL books Uniquely SIGNED by DOUGLAS ADAMS" on the abebooks.com webste.
Thanks,
Bas
