Most of Douglas Adams' writings are pretty readily available here:
the five volumes of the trilogy, and the two Dirk Gently books.
Some of his writings, such as "Meaning of Liff" and "Last Chance to
See"
are a little harder to find. If you need help finding them, just ask.
Did the BBC special about hypertext that he and Ted Nelson worked on
