Anyone want this set of 5 unabridged audio books from the wonderful series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?
About 30 hours in total, on CASSETTE TAPE.  Read by the author.

Wow, Mouser, how can you bear to part with them?  :o

I'd love to have them, but my very Britishness wouldn't allow me to take them off your hands without giving you something for them.*


*(Actually, that's not entirely true - I took delivery of a pile of free Intel system programming books not that long ago without so much as breaking into a sweat. But that was different - Intel were probably going to just burn them if they didn't get rid of them, so it was more like rescuing a kitten. :P)

I already have a set (plus complete books, TV and radio series, and abridged versions read by Stephen 'Marvin' Moore).

How can you bear to part with them? Every now and again I simply have to immerse myself in the humour of DNA or go mad.

FWIW Douglas Adams read them brilliantly well (as he did the Dirk Gently books too).

Thanks so much Mouser. I'll give them a good home.  :Thmbsup:

My avatar is none other than Darth Pingu, competitor with The Penguin of Death for the title of "Most Dangerous Penguin 2006", an honour dominated in recent years by Feathers McGraw.

If Darth Pingu looks slightly surprised by the lightsaber he appears to be holding, that's probably because it wasn't in his hand (wing?) until I fired up Photoshop. ;)
