	It's true ... Doug Adams has a new book out (*So Long, and Thanks
for all the fish*, $10.95, hardcover, same-publisher-as-the-last-ones).

	My personal opinion: it's ok.  It isn't OK, it's just ok.  
It's as funny as the first three, and has new characters and new people
(you see, Dent and his life on earth *after* the Vogons blew it up is
the topic for this new book ... I won't tell you how the earth got put
back together ... and it wasn't Humpty Dumpty, either), but it seems to
lack something  that the
other books had 

	Of course, HHGTTG *is* a hard act to follow...
