WHAT ARE THESE GRACEFUL VISITORS TO OUR SKIES? WE NOW KNOW THAT THEY BRING BOTH LIFE AND DEATH AND TEACH US ABOUT OUR ORIGINS.


Comet begins with a breathtaking journey through space astride a comet. Pulitzer Prize-winning astronomer Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos and Contact, and writer Ann Druyan explore the origin, nature, and future of comets, and the exotic myths and portents attached to them. The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark.


Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet? Are comets the building blocks from which worlds are formed?


Lavishly illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned full-color paintings, Comet is an enthralling adventure, indispensable for anyone who has ever gazed up at the heavens and wondered why.

Fits your COVID vaccine card!
This wallet is very lovely (fine workmanship, smooth and not distressed leather as in the photo). Comes in a quality metal box that has possibly thrilled my husband even more than the wallet itself. Holds everything including weird currencies, parking stubs, even your COVID vaccine document — you do have one, right? Perfect gift.

Well made,
The leather is flawless, all the stitching is well done, the ability to organize my cards in groups worked out well. It's overall size is fine, fits well in a front pocket, flatter than a tri-fold, not bulky. My only wish would be making the width of the inner double sided leather card holder page pockets just 1/8" wider. In my opinion this would then be a 5-star wallet. One spot to hold some of the just wider than credit card size for easy access would be nice. Besides that, I intend to use it until it is worn out. Nice wallet!

Size matters
Color: Derrick Dark Brown, Size: One Size
The quality of the wallet is fine, but the size… it’s way to big to fit in a man’s pocket easily. I should’ve done a better job reading the measurements, but dang!
