** The year after the book came out, a new edition of ''The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Europe'' was released. Rather than the original cheap paperback, this was in the same big, glossy format as other travel books by the same publisher. If it weren't for the fact the dates don't work, it would be hard to avoid assumuing that Vann Harl's description of the Guide Mk 2 as "we don't sell to penniless hitch hikers. What a stupid notion that was! Find the one section of the market that, more or less by definition, doesn't have any money, and try and sell to it. No. We sell to the affluent business traveller and his vacationing wife" was a deliberate swipe at this.

* AudienceAlienatingEnding: In a cross with AngstAversion, it's hard to seek this book knowing it has a massive DownerEnding - both the radio version and [[Literature/AndAnotherThing Eoin Cofler's sequel]] undid it by saving some characters (Douglas Adams wanted to do it too, but died before being able to write the book).

I don\'t think anyone\'s mileage varies on whether Douglas Adams died, so moving that to Trivia. Creator Breakdown goes over there too.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: The books were technically completed, but Adams reportedly regretted the dark ending of the last book and wanted to write another. His death prevented that.

* InferredHolocaust: The destruction of "every Earth in every reality" and all their inhabitants sounds bad enough, but it's left to the reader to realize that that includes [=NowWhat=], [[ElvisHasLeftThePlanet the King]], and probably even [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1 the dolphins]]. ([=NowWhat=] may be a CrapsackWorld, but it puts a human face on those alternate Earths and shows just how diverse they were.)
