A disclaimer on the spelling of Hitchhiker's Guide.

Unfortunately, the different editions of the Hitchhiker's Guide spell it differently -- thus "Hitch-Hiker's Guide", "Hitch Hiker's Guide" and "Hitchhiker's Guide" are used in different editions (US or UK), versions (audio or text) and compilations of the book. Some editions even used different spellings on the spine and title page. For the sake of coherence, this article spells it Hitchhiker's Guide, which is reportedly the way author Douglas Adams himself preferred it.^[1] At least two other reference works also make note of the inconsistency in the titles. However, both of these repeat the statement that Adams decided in 2000 that "everyone should spell it the same way [one word, no hyphen] from then on." ^{[2] [3]} The cover of the first novel in the Hitchhikers series, from a late 1990s printing. ...
