Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Companion

Neil Gaiman · Titan Books · 1988

The true first is the UK Titan Books paperback original, published October 1987 (not 1988). An often overlooked early Gaiman nonfiction title, though not his first book: his Duran Duran biography (Proteus, 1984) and the co-written Ghastly Beyond Belief (1985) precede it.
