Hi Dave
All the books you mentioned should be in ones library but Stan was looking for books that in my words have some meat. That is to say they will help you understand meteorites better especially from the science side. The books you mentioned were more story books and not serious studies in meteorites type books.
Again all should be in a good meteorite collectors library but just don't fit into what I believe Stan was looking for.
Hope that helps.
Mike
