Hi Ed,

apart from Richard Nortonīs great book I would strongly recommend
"Meteorites and Their Parent Planets" by Harry Y. McSween Jr.,
2nd edition, (c) Cambridge University Press 1999...

...or, especially for the "old stories", a less technical, but very
nice to read and entertaining classic book: "Find a Falling Star" by H.
H. Nininger, (c) 1972, probably out of print, but offered here and there
by some meteorite dealers and booksellers, some of them also being
subscribed to this list.

Happy reading,
Alex
