Let's compare apples to apples. This is a deal on a digital book. My library system does not carry this book digitally on Libby. Again, absolutely no reason for ignorant comments.

The movie was Contact, this is Cosmos, a sci documentary.

Sagan is dearly missed, he talked much about pseudoscience, medical and political tyranny and talked about a balanced approach to the changes in the climate. He was not left or right, did not demonize or promote censorship those who did not agree with him.

We need more the likes of him today!

I just digitized the VHS version of Cosmos, it has the original music and artwork/graphics and the KCET, ARCO and Arthur Vining Davis Foundation intros.

Great deal.... and a good way to use expiring No Rush Credits at Amazon. Just can't seem to figure out why MY credits aren't being applied here, lol.

Updated: Amazon has changed the process... at least on my smartphone. It showed $1.99 with no eligible credits being applied until AFTER I hit the Buy button. Credits were applied once I did that, so it kinda took a leap of faith that things would work out - which it did. I seem to recall that the price shown before committing to purchase was the price with credits applied, and that might be a difference between a mobile device and a PC, but still....

tl;dr - Cosmos is eligible for No Rush Credits

I have this book I bought when the show was new. 1980-ish or so.

Sagan was such a great science presenter.
Damn you indifferent universe for not giving him more time! Thank you for keeping Attenborough around for a long time though!

I don't get how those credits work sometimes. I had like $8 in no rush credits and went to buy a Kindle book last week, but it would only apply $1 of it? And this was on PC, so it's not an app glitch. I'm having no such issue trying to buy this e-book.

My copy is all beat up, no covers and ragged outside pages. Just got this one with credits and will probably toss the hard copy. There are many nuggets in the book, was just outside and I remembered this one: "if god exists, he has a thing for beetles".

Usually you see price for ebook or video with already applied credits. Open the same page in incognito mode without sign in to see full price

That hasn't been my experience. It always shows the base price, then the applied credits, and then the final price. Like this: https://imgur.com/LJsJCcf
