There is quite a lot to digest and i had to re listen to many segments and also, at times, slow the reading speed.
I bought it used and it is still in good condition.
Shipping
I got way more than i expected, but i am pleasantly surprised.
Packaging/appearance
It’s rare to find an astrophysics read that is packed with so much knowledge explained in such an interesting way.
The book is 2nd hand and i received it in perfect condition.
Even though the book was packaged in a bag, it looked like it just came off the presses.
The book came in not-so-great packaging, but thankfully the condition of it was as described!
Competitiveness
Many additional discoveries have been made as technology has advanced, but sagan presents so much more than what we know about outer space.
