Yeah, there were 5 books in the series, and one short story that doesn't appear in any of the bound volumes of the series, except for one that I borrowed from my friend.

The individual books were The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. The novel I referred to was Young Zaphod Plays It Safe.

One problem is that, not only were there more than 3 novels in the trilogy, but there were alternate versions of each of the novels, plus a radio show that had a diverting storyline, a BBC television series, and various other offshoots of the original novel. This makes it hard to find a "definitive" version of the story, but the upside is that there's more out there to feed the inevitable addiction you will develop. (I read the entire 5 book series in something like a week and a half, only at night - I just couldn't put it down, and I was thinking about it all day at work).

Anyways, you'll find it very enjoyable to get into the series.
