Dear meteorite friends,

this week and the weeks to follow shall here be offered some antiquarian
meteorite literature.
Today we start with monographs on single falls/finds from USA & Canada.
Often these are bare articles without covers (if not noted else), like they
parallel were issued to the scientific journals, where the were included.

As you easily can see on the years, many of the following offers were the
1st publication on the respective meteorite at all.

Prices without shipping (combined shipping available).

Enjoy,
Martin
