DO buy this edition
Although the page says 'A Trilogy in Four Parts', the actual book is the updated one including Mostly Harmless (as you can see if you click on the photo of the book cover), so ignore the review that says its incomplete. My copy was delivered today and I can definatley say its the 'Trilogy in Five Parts', not four

FANTASTIC!
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the best series of books I have ever read. I discovered them courtesy of my brother around 5 years ago, I read the 'trilogy' and have since become a ver avid fan. The chronicles of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect and the rest of the gang are always guaranteed to make me laugh, and the books are always very well-written by Douglas Adams, as the pace never slows and there is never a dull (or unfunny moment). I live my life according to these books, as I'm sure any of my friends will testify. If you're thinking of buying this book, I would definitely recommend it to anyone after a comedy novel, a sci-fi novel or just a new outlook on life as a whole.

The best trilogy you will ever read!
This book is the greatest thing I have ever read! it had everything: comedy, randomiscity, physics and even the meaning of life...!
You think your having a bad day? Arthur dent, a six foot ape decendent, woke up to find his house about to be demolished, then he finds out his best mate is an alien from somewhere in the vicinity of betelguese (pronounced beetlejuice,) and then narrowaly escapes being killed as planet earth gets demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass... and thats just the beginning!
I decided to start reading these books again before I went to see the movie, and I'm so glad I did, the memorys came flooding back of arthurs adventures. I have also watched the TV series several times and found them comic genius.
Once you have started reading them, you wont be able to put the book down.
A MUST BUY!
