42

By Douglas Adams, edited by Kevin Jon Davies

A publishing event: hundreds of artefacts from Douglas Adams' archive, printed for the first time

Thursday, 25 May 2023

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.

It's Towel Day 2023, so we wanted to stop by and say hello.


If you haven't seen it already - we're running a competition to win a 42 towel and a copy of the book. Enter here: https://unbound3.typeform.com/to/LNKHw5aj


Last week Unbound's very own John Mitchinson attended Save the Rhino's Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture to tell the crowd about 42: The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams, and to introduce his long time friend and QI co-founder John Lloyd.

It was also the first time the Unbound team had met Kevin Jon Davies in real life, which was a treat for us all.

We're all very excited about the book and will be bringing you some sneak peeks in the coming weeks.

The team at Unbound.

I'm going to be sailing my miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth this summer. If I don't win, where can I buy a 42 towel?

And I'm stuck on a planet that seems to be getting wetter & wetter...
So I want to buy a 42 towel too... I'm sure there are plenty of other aliens who want one too...
(Where are you guys?)
I only need my long awaited e.book, so I won't be in the competition....

I hope you all had a great Towel Day! I, for one, have sported my ceremonial towel all day long. I made it especially for towel days.

Can't wait till August!
