You had to go and stop the sample pages where the topic on the last
paragraph states::

"The very act of collecting, many say is sexual..."

Thanks, now we all will have to go out and buy this just to find out what
he is talking about.

While I have heard people in the field tell others to go do "something"
with themselves, I never really thought of meteorites and meteorite
collecting in the terms of being sexual in nature.
 
And you say there is 448 pages of this?

My copy of The Fallen Sky arrived today. I've had just a few minutes to
look
over it so no major details, but it is a sizable hardback (448 pages of
text not
counting index, notes, and such) and is divided into 10 sections, each on a
different meteorite-related topic. Section 7 is "A Serious Case of the I
Wants:
The Passions of the Dealers" which should particularly interest many list
members as a few of you make cameo appearances.

I did a quick scan of a few sample pages from that chapter. I didn't work
to
make them actually look good (which might require disarticulating the
pages to
get the inside edges flat) or to give a whole segment, but just to give an
idea
of the contents.
