I have the first two books (Hitchhikers and Restaurant) on cassette.
I know that the records exists (that's where I got my tapes), but they
are hard to find.  If anyone would like a copy of my tapes, just let
me know.  
    Does anyone know if they ever recorded 'Life, the Universe, and
Everything'?  I'd be very interested in obtaining a copy.  My tapes
just kind-of end in the middle of the story.

The records are available from Hannibal Records.  As is explained on the sleeve
the records are not duplicates of the book or BBC broadcast, but are still 
quite enjoyable.  The albums are titled _The Hithchikers Guide to the Galaxy /
Part One_ and part two.  Part one is Hannibal HNBL 2301 and I believe my copy
came from Canada.  Hannibal's address is

		Hannibal Records Inc.
		611 Broadway Suite 415
		New York, NY 10012

If you say you have the first 2 books on tape, then you (probably) dont 
have the original broadcasts.  I do not believe that they were
separated then into three parts corresponding to the three books; in fact
they are *quite* different after you get 1/2 into the tapes.

I was in B.F Daltons this weekend and noticed that the original radio
scripts have been published in book form. Cost about $10.00.
