Looks like a good book although quite "heavy" both literally and figuratively. List price is $90 but I will sell for $77.50. Unfortunately I don't have a copy but I
would guess that shipping will be quite expensive as it is so heavy. But I will only charge cost plus $1.00.
I'll let you know the price with shipping as soon as I can. Let me
know if you want to reserve a copy.

New Book title 2

"The Schwade Meteorite Collection"
New book...book title. This is a pictorial book by James Schwade
showing his phenomenal meteorite collection. He certainly has one of
the largest collections in private hands.
This softcover book starts off with a introductory section 10 pages in
length about the "who", "what" "when" and "where" of his collection.
The next section shows three quality photos on each page. The book has
190 pictures of many rarely seen meteorites ranging from a 300kg
Gibeon to a 41 gram Nakhla and everything in between. The pictures
are great with a small bit of text associated with each picture. With
some of the more interesting pieces in the collection that have a
story to tell, Jim will retell how he obtained it, give historical
information, or tell of how it fell.
Last section shows the inventory of his entire collection as all of his pieces
not all are pictured. There is also a list by classification and by
geographic region. In total the book has 126 pages.
Great book with excellent pictures of a phenomenal meteorite
collection. All yours for 15.00 plus 3.50 media mail shipping to the
US, 11.00 worldwide. Please add $1.00 for PayPal payments if this is the only book you order.
I will be getting the books in a week or two so for now I am just
taking pre orders. Also Jim will hand deliver them to me so let me
know if you want a signed copy.

Thanks
Mike
