    I must say from the very beginning of this transaction that everything went smooth. The seller gave me a good quality product for a great price that was brand new and appeared to be better than what was pictured. I plan on purchasing more products in the near future from this seller. The product was shipped and packaged with care and love. Magnificent communication and all of what I said makes this seller a great asset to the eBay community as well as the marketplace.

    The seller was incredibly communicative and was willing to lump together multiple items I'd purchased to combine shipping, which was greatly appreciated. The item itself was in perfect condition, looks better than in the photo, and was packaged well to avoid any damage during shipping. It arrived quickly and without any issues! Excellent Seller, Goes the Extra Mile. Smooth Transaction, Shipped Very Quickly, As Advertised; Good Price; Well Packaged & Delivered Within a Few Days. A+

    You have a friend in Sagan

    Sagan was a literal genius, though had had ability to present extremely complex notions and make them accessible to people who are not science nerds/geeks. All without over simplification - treating the reader with grace and respect. He allows the universe to be relative. Relational and interesting.

    Terrible quality, pages are so yellow they’re practically orange the book is so old the pages are withering and tattering as you flip them. Honestly the book is in such a bad condition it shouldn’t have been put up for sale in the first place. Very disappointing
