    Done: off to Oxfam with it. Looks very much as if I don't have book 5 either.

    Next: "Don't Panic: Douglas Adams and the H2G2" by Neil Gaiman. The updated 2003 edition: remaindered at £3.99.

    Goes into some detail on the differences between the Radio Series, the first two books, and the TV series.

    Too early to have compared those with the rather dire film.

    I think I don't have the 5th book because the 4th book was so mediocre.

        Doughnut - Tom Holt.

        Notre Dame de Paris was very good. Darkly funny.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Set before "Caves of Steel". I'd never heard of this one and have never seen it in an anthology.

            So here it is in all its glory.
            Done. And it doesn't need to got to Oxfam once it's read. .

            Next: TBD.
