The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark was an influential book for many science oriented people of a certain (fairly wide range in) age. You can have it on your Kindle for two bucks.

I tried a few days ago and it was $14.95. Too bad.
The full price is typical of all too many Amazon kindle books. Often more expensive than a good used “real” book and sometimes even more than a new “real” book. Proofreading is sometimes not very good either. I’d guess that there’s no human reader involved.
More options…
Public and school libraries.
New and used bookshops.
Asking a friend to borrow their copy for a bit.
( lending and borrowing books amongst friends is a highly underrated social thing imo. There’s a particular trust, almost an intimacy, in the process. I’ve got a query for Greg about lending customs he has observed in Africa actually! )
Or, on the internet… here’s many possibilities in one link. Including a kindle thingy.

I can’t help but wonder at Ann Druyans omission as coauthor????
