Too much "meat" tends to be binding...if not a bit boring; I prefer the
omnivorious approach.
Winter storm for tomorrow, meteorite hunting season's closing again!
Time to read a good meteorite book next to the fire.

> 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.

fit into what I believe Stan was looking for.
