Wasn't there one more book written in the world by a separate author? Or is that this one?

That's the one! Thank you very much.

Other than Adams's radio scripts, the only other book mentioned on wiki is a book by Terry Jones (of the Pythons) based on a game that was based on the mention of the "Starship Titanic" from Life, the Universe, and Everything. I'd never heard of it before though.

I remember that. I played the game as a kid and, when I found out it was a book years later, was thrilled! After reading it, I was a bit disappointed, but it was fun.

Someone else in this is referenced what I was remembering:

Ah that cover looks vaguely familiar, so I must've seen it referenced at some point. I'll check it out.
