I’ve read the series (well only the Douglas authored books). I have a copy of The Complete Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy which I have not read. Does it make a difference?
Much like the TV minseries, book, movie, radio play and audiobooks - all incarnations of The Guide are accurate and complete, especially the parts that contradict… It just depends on which multiverse you have existen been fromme. (Universal relativism weirds language.)
While the Guide is important, I actually think Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and Long Dark Teatime of the Soul might both be more important. I’m actually often saddened they didn’t get as much love as Hitchhiker’s Guide.

At least that’s what I believe.
The Guide from Mostly Harmless agrees with you.
See? Its even more internally consistent than the Bible.
I only wish we had gotten The Salmon of Doubt.

To me it’s a bit like the Bible. You’ve got the big few books and then so many supporting documents explaining the mindset behind the revelation.
The Douglas-authored books would be…all of the Hitchhikers’ Guide books. Which is what the Complete Hitchhiker’s Guide is.
I think it may not make a difference, no.
There is a sixth book that Jane Belson, Adam’s widow supported, called And Another Thing… written by Eoin Colfer.
