[edit] Answer to last one

If you had read the dedication page you would see:

To everyone who wrote to me to reveal the secret definiton of the world "trilogy"

There originally wasn't going to be a fourth book but the series was so popular another book was requested.

But it's still called a trilogy, in respect to the original.

By the way, all the riffraff about the extra stuff and early released sneak previews is old news. It's unnecessary.

[edit] Fourth book?

I was wondering - How is this a trilogy if there is going to be a fourth book??? Happyfacesrock 20:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

This is not technically a part of the original trilogy. --Geracudd 13:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

This book is more of a companion book then a 4th in the trilogy. The old protagonist isn't the main character anymore. Morningsunshine 01:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

They called the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy books a trilogy, and there were five of them in the end. Sometimes, there end up being more boks than expected. Strdst grl (talk) 16:45, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crumblyville?

Crumblyville is not a city it is a section of a city that existed in most cities before the cure that was reserved for the elderly. Randy6767 00:07, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Extrascover1.jpg

Image:Extrascover1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
