That's because the Hitchhiker's books are his schtick. They'll always be around. But he did a few other books too. Last Chance to See was the one he was most proud of. It's about his search for endangered wildlife, it's very funny and deeply moving. But it's unfortunately also the hardest to find. I gave it to my sister, an aspiring zoologist, as a gift and had to order it special from Media Play.
