See that battered erstwhile Hermes Standard 8 typewriter there , in a fetching shade of institutional brown ? I ’d practically saw my own peg off to own it . Why ? Because I ’m a huge Douglas Adams fan , and that dinge previous thing is the very typewriter DNA used to bring The Hitchhiker ’s Guide to the Galaxy to the existence . A amazingly analog convenience , for such a self - avowed engineering science fan as he . And get this : it ’s actually on sales agreement by a British bookseller , as part of a package with a “ fine ” precondition first - version copy of Hitchhiker ’s . The package , complete with John Hancock on the typewriter hat , will set you back over $ 25,000 . A vastly , hugely , mind - bogglingly big core . But , boy … would n’t it be worth it ?
