Visually the external appearance is exceptional particularly internally is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of it's 20 year-old age. It really is still an exceptional exemplary example for it's brightness cleanliness and lack of other or age-acquired detracting faults commonly encountered in a book of a comparable age. 'The Salmon of Doubt' contains ten chapters of the novel on which Douglas Adams was working at the time of his death in May 2001 along with an astonishing collection of pieces recovered from his beloved Macintosh computer. The plot of 'The Salmon of Doubt' is as intriguing as its title and sees Dirk Gently simultaneously on the trail of half a cat and an actor whose sudden appearance is perhaps not as random as it seems. Starring alongside the pizza-addicted detective are Thor Norse God of Thunder Dave of Daveland and a highly confused rhinoceros called Desmond. Other fictional stories include 'Young Zaphod Plays It Safe' featuring the intergalactic star of the 'Hitchhiker' series and 'The Private Life of Ghengis Khan' written with Graham Chapman in which the emotional needs of a barbaric marauding killer are revealed. Non-fiction pieces range from an earnest twelve-year-old Douglas's letter to Eagle magazine through insights into a teenage mind full of adoration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers to lectures reflecting Adams's exceptional understanding of our natural technological and philosophical worlds. Here too are articles on subjects as diverse as religion the 'little dongly things' making a mess of computers the letter 'Y' and Douglas's love affair with two dogs in New Mexico. For fans and new readers alike 'The Salmon of Doubt' is the ultimate smorgasbord of the insanities urbanities and wondrous workings of life the universe and everything.
