Re: A85: Less Mail, or Unsubscribed?)


it's basically a short story with Zaphod exploring a ship with a storage
bay of unstable characteristics (the *too* charming ones, the ones that
get away w/ everything), and he sets them free and that's how he became
the person he is/was.

it's "the ultimate hitchhiker's guide"... leather bound with golden-edged
pages and one of those ribbon bookmarks... it has the ones that you
mentioned and the zaphod one between the fish one and the Mostly harmless
one.
