Book shipped fast and came in the condition listed. One of my favorite books by the late Carl Sagan although a little dated. Still a good read for anyone who is a fan of Carl Sagan and the search for life among the stars.

replaced a soft back copy I bought in the 60's and managed to lose through several moves, who knows it still may be in one of those storage containers I have but the hard back is well worth the price

Excellent book about the state of the art back when it was written.

It contains Carl Sagan's run-in with a UFO contactee, someone who claims to have close encounters of the friendly kind with ET's. It also has a nice discussion of the controversy over the canals of Mars, and it contains some ancient-astronaut speculations. But Carl Sagan is very cautious about that, unlike Erich von Däniken.

I was hugely impressed with this book when it first came out in the 1960s. I was delighted recently to find a second hand hardback of it. It still impresses and inspires me.
