RE: What to read?

Hi,

It looks like you have already access to the best reading on meteorites: The
meteorite list (Welcome!!!) 

Another good start would be the book from Harry Y. McSween "meteorites and
their parent planets" 2nd edition
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0521587514/qid=927711498/sr=1-1/002-
6202545-3339866>.

Excellent book, a little bit more technical than "rocks from space", but
should be readable for people with a "normal" education. It's my personnal
favorite! The only backdraw is that it only talks about meteorites, and not
about meteorites collectors/collections.

Hope that helps,

Julien

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this list, and meteorite collecting, and wish to get
up-to-speed. I saw a book the other day titled "Rocks From Space,
second edition" by Richard Norton. It looked good to me, but
before I spend $30 I would like to know what you think of the
book. Also, are there any other good books that talk about
meteorite hunting and collecting. From what I have found out so
far I live in a pretty good collecting area (north central
Arizona, actually Sedona).

Thanks for the help.

Have Fun,
Jeff Colburn
