I was recently feeling a bit nostalgic and did a search on a treasured book I lost years ago to the black hole of 'overseas shipping'; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. My wonderfully unique copy was in German (I lived in Austria at the time and I first read the book in German) and all the ink in it was a royal blue.
Today I searched on "german hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy blue ink", and google faithfully fetched me the opportunity to buy a vintage set in blue and purple ink. I just purchased the happy little pair pictured below. Thanks, Google, for sending me a memorable little piece of my past!
I love the Hitchhiker's Guide books - I'm glad you managed to purchase some memories.
Enjoy re-reading them once they arrive.

Thanks, Geedos. They've just arrived and I'm diving in with a German dictionary at my side :)!
