Hello Mark & List,

   Before Ninninger, before Shoemaker, there was Dr. Oliver Cummings
Farrington, Curator of Geology, Chicago Field Museum Of Natural History. In
1915, he wrote and published, at his own expense, a great tome titled "
Meteorites (1- counting the # of times I mention the word!!!): Their
Structure, Composition, and Terrestrial Relations". Richard Norton quotes
this book on page 2-3 of ROS, and Ninninger quotes Dr. Farrington
extensively in "Find a Falling Star" and "Out of the Sky". Ninninger also
named Dr. Farrington as one of two scientists responsible for saving the
fledling science of Meteoritics. Additionally, in his 1961 work "Space
Nomads: Meteorites (2) in Sky, Field, and Laboratory", Dr. Lincoln LaPaz
writes of Dr. Farrington's book, "The classic American work on meteorites"
(3).

   Being a very proud (and fortunate) owner of the original book, one can
see why it influenced so many. It truly is a classic that influenced many
that followed. It reads like a modern work still, with careful statements
backed by the science of the day, resplendent with priceless b&w photos and
fall charts. A true foundational work for the science and passion of
meterites (4) we all share today.

Bonus Question:

   I would like to see Richard write a WHOLE BOOK on our passion of finding
and collecting rocks from space. I know he covers it in RFS - both
editions - but wouldn't we all like to see and have a book that covers just
those topics in great depth? All of the ins and outs of finding, collecting,
buying, trading, preserving, displaying, etc.

  Have a good day list and great contest as usual Mark.

Warmest regards,
Greg Redfern

  Hello Everybody,

  It's METEORITE CONTEST #5. FREE METEORITE BOOKS!!!

  This summer and fall has me pretty busy and I havent ran a contest lately
so......here we go!

  What is the best meteorite book you have read?

  AND

  What is the meteorite book you would like to read?

  Just to make it a little harder you cannot answer with either of Richard
Norton's books. (Note to anyone interested in meteorites: If you do not have
Norton's books, GET THEM, e'nuff said)

  For bonus points you can answer..

  "The book I would really like to see Richard Norton write is......"

  The Rules: All entries should be e-mailed to the meteorite list. Entries
sent only to me will not be counted. I will give out at least 4 free
different meteorite or closely related books and pay the shipping. Entries
can be in as few or as many words as you like...and just for a stupid rule
to make it a little harder....you can not say the word meteorite or
meteorites more then 4 times. E-mail any questions.

  Thanks, Mark Bostick "The Big Collector"
