Yeah, but the Foundation trilogy has seven books.
The last two being prequels.
(Also it’s connected to the Galactic Empire trilogy, which does have three books, but was published in reverse order, and the Robot series, a four book duology not to be confused with Asimov’s other robot books, though it’s set in the same universe, and also to The End of Eternity, which is set in a different timeline altogether but is sort of a prequel to the whole shebang.)
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:
Similar to the five book Hitchhiker’s Guide trilogy.

Adams had one more short story in the Hitchhiker’s universe, but debatable whether it’s technically part of the trilogy.

Wasn’t there one more book written in the world by a separate author? Or is that this one?
Eoin Colfer’s And Another Thing
That’s the one! Thank you very much.
