Don't Panic, Neil Gaiman

Scanned and corrected by Dirk Gently- as usual. If you have some interesting books to be scanned (Finnish and Estonian preferred!), and they'd interest me as well, you can contact me. Don't forget the three letters: i-R-C! Sorry, no Email addy is possible. I had lots of probs scanning/editing this text, so it'd be great (if you are a DNA fan) if you sent me some greets in demoz/diskmags of yours, if you appreciate my effort to make this book available for you.

I recommend you keeping the file's Word format coz I've edited the text with Bold and Italic characters as well.

There were some TIFFs as well in the archive. COVER.TIF was the TrueColor TIFF of the cover. The other TIFFs were:
6.tif: the name (and the text) speaks for itself :) (600 dpi, BW 256, 20%)
APP1_1... APP1_4.tif: Appendix 1's 4 pages (900 dpi, BW 256, 20%)
Anyway, to make life easier, I've also typed in the contents of the
mentioned TIFs so you won't need to get the TIFFs.

It us also the story of a book called, at a very high level
of improbality, The Hith Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy;
