Don't panic, and bring a towel.

For seasoned galactic travelers, if you're looking for the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which includes:

  • Hitchhiker's Guide
  • The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
  • Life, the Universe, and Everything
  • So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
  • Young Zaphod Plays It Safe
  • Mostly Harmless

... this wormhole should get you there.

Also, upon conferring with both Space and Ice Pirates, I've been persuaded to also provide their contribution here in honor of the late, great Douglas Adams.

Now could you guys please untie my cats and get them off the plank?

The last time I went through this book I did it on audio format, read by Stephen Fry. It was glorious.

The original BBC radio series ain't half bad either

It's great for sure, but it differs from the book in quite a few ways. Just as the television show differed from the books and the movie differed from the TV show. All are strongly recommended!
