Hi Alex, all,

Believe me or not, my copy arrived right today. Thanks to John Kashuba
who forwarded me his extra copy (it took 3 days (!) to get it here in
Belgium from California!).

I just started browsing through and was instantaneously quenched by
the titles, pics, then text. I could not stop my reading until right
now (late night, before checking the letest list news).

Folks, this book is unbelievable as it contains ALL related to our
beloved meteorites (theory, fall and find anecdotes, hunting,
recognizing, collecting, preserving, experimanting, all kinds of
practical tips...much, much more).
It is written in a so simple style with clear words so that it is
just impossible not to understand all the fundamentals and practice
concerning meteorites, that you possibly missed in other treatises.

After this first "jumping through", I'll now read it again in a row
tomorrow at dawn.
I'll send more specific feelings on its contents to Larry and I bet
they will cross-cut most of your own elogious remarks.

My message to all the European (and other) listees: hurry up to follow
Alex's advices and try the links he suggested. Never worry about the
price, even with a (predicted?) increase, the book is far more than
worth it.

Be happy,

Zelimir
