Dear Max ... I am a big fan of Douglas Adams. When the book first landed in my hands I was hooked by the description of where the planning board notice was posted that Arthur Dent's house was scheduled for demolition.
A short version : down cellar, with a torch, no stairs, in "the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of Leopard."
As a former reporter who had to deal with the body politic and the legally required notices I was in tears of laughter! I read it aloud to other reporters at an informal gathering which resulted in a sell out of the book at the local bookstore.
wow
