Peter Gill has just published his "42 : Douglas Adams' amazingly accurate answer to life the universe and everything" (published by "Beautiful books").
If you ever wanted to know anything about 42, then this book should be a nice choice. And it seems to be a must-read for the Hitchhiker and Douglas fans.
Here is a review published in The Guardian : http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/feb/03/douglas-adams-42-hitchhiker#start-of-comments
And another one in The Independant : http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/history/the-meaning-of-life-42-things-about-42-2205734.html

I'm reading this at the moment. So far, it's basically just a bunch of facts that might have something to do with 42 ... or it might not. Sometimes it's just "it's XXXX miles, which is the distance between X and Y 42 times!" - yeah, you really had to push to come up with that one, didn't you? :/ It's an amusing book, though.
