No mis-interpretation here....

Void of censor, Mr. Sagan speaks of what he is taught prior to 1980- upon publication. No, the as-promised images do not appear on our iPads today, BUT, if you are to purchase this to be a picture-book; you are purchasing it for incorrect reasoning. This is a legendary read in the Universal world. Do not dis-credit.
