Book Club Edition unstated, 1980 Harmony Books without an ISBN number on the copyright page. Early Book Club Printing with M11 gutter code on page 216, which indicates a March 1982 printing.

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle through space powered by pure improbability – and desperately in search of a place to eat.
Ships promptly in a manila envelope with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
