Hello Ed and list,

another good book is:

Harry Y. McSween
"Meteorites and their parent planets" (second edition)
Cambridge University Press, 1999

and for the history of meteorites (but this book is out of print):

John G.Burke
"Cosmic debris - Meteorites in history"
Univ. of California Press, 1986
