Sagan Carl
Cosmos.
New York: Random House 1980. First edition of one of the best-selling science books ever published. Octavo original half cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by Carl Sagan on the title page to his in-laws in the year of publication "For Les and Edie with love and every good wish. Carl Sept. 281980." An excellent near fine example with small numbers on the top right of the title page in a near fine dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Jacket design by Robert Aulicino jacket painting by Adolph Schaller. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Association copies of this magnitude seldom enter the marketplace. Cosmos is the best-selling science book ever published in the English language. Brilliant and provocative it traces today's knowledge and scientific methods to their historical roots blending science and philosophy in a wholly energetic and irresistible way. "Enticing imaginative readable iridescent" The New York Times. It was also a thirteen-part television series written by Carl Sagan Ann Druyan and Steven Soter with Sagan as presenter. It was executive-produced by Adrian Malone produced by David Kennard Geoffrey Haines-Stiles and Gregory Andorfer and directed by the producers David Oyster Richard Wells Tom Weidlinger and others. It covers a wide range of scientific subjects including the origin of life and a perspective of our place in the universe. The series was first broadcast by the Public Broadcasting Service in 1980 and was the most widely watched series in the history of American public television until The Civil War. As of 2009 it was still the most widely watched PBS series in the world. It went on to win two Emmys and a Peabody Award and has since been broadcast in more than 60 countries and seen by over 500 million people. It was followed-up by the 2014 documentary television series bearing the same name presented by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson who as a young high school student was inspired by Sagan.

Murmurs of Earth: The Voyager Interstellar Record.
New York: Random House 1978. First edition of this fascinating story which covers the story of the interstellar record. Quarto original cloth. Boldly signed by Carl Sagan on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Robert Aulicino. In 1977 two extraodinary spacecraft called Voyager were launched to the stars.

This book is an account written by those chiefly responsible for the contents of the Voyager Record of why they did it how they selected the repertoire and precisely what the record contains.

Goodbye Again Aimez-Vous Brahms Original photograph from the 1961 film
Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1961. Vintage borderless black-and-white still photograph from the French release of the 1961 film. Featuring Ingrid Bergman holding up Anthony Perkins as he seems to be falling backwards outside of a large doorway. From the Tele Cine Documentation archive originally known as the Collection Daniel Bouteiller with their sticker to the verso. Also on the verso is the rubber stamp of Maurice Bessy from whose archives the photo originally came alongside another small rubber stamp and light holograph annotations in ink. <br/><br/>Based on the 1959 novel "Aimez-vous Brahms" by Francoise Sagan. Ingrid Bergman is the mistress of a philandering business executive who refuses to change his ways until Bergman begins seeing the son of one of his wealthy clients played by Anthony Perkins. Fresh from his role as Norman Bates in Hitchcock's "Psycho" Perkins shines as a charming aimless bachelor in what would be one of the few non-typecast characters of his career.
