“...he also had a device which looked rather like a largish electronic calculator. This had about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square on which any one of a million ‘pages’ could be summoned at a moment’s notice. It looked insanely complicated, and this was one of the reasons why the snug plastic cover it fitted into had the words DON’T PANIC printed on it in large friendly letters.

– Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979)

hi! Could you please tell me which site you mentioned? I just bought my ipad this week, and now I'm choosing a cover for it - couldn't find anything I would like so far.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book, but I read the description, and as a tech geek, I became very interested. Now I want to read the book and make a 'DON'T PANIC' cover:)
Hope I can find an ebook because we have very few books in English where I live.
Best Regards,
Sandra
