Hi Todd and all,

I didn't see a reply to your answer so here is one. The last Catalog of
Meteorites is the purplish one dated September 2000 and published by
Cambridge University Press. An Earlier version (Blue Book) the fourth
edition, edited by Andrew Graham, Alex Bevan and Robert Hutchison, was
published in 1985. The first edition was published in 1847 and consisted
of a three-page pamphlet listing the 62 Meteorites in the British
Museum, the natural history collection.

It took over 4 years for the last one to come out when word got out it
was being made. I can't imagine the effort in editing and preparing
something like that for publishing and then you have to communicate with
the printer on the details and proof read before giving the go ahead to
print. If any future ones come out, will probably be on a disk but no
mention of that has been made.

You can check out this web site about the Catalog of meteorites.

All my best to you!
