Hi all
It has been a while since I have done a book sale. I did have a copy
of Nininger Photographic Study...Part 1 but it sold to my Yahoo groups
list. If you want first choice please sign up for my group;
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Jensen-Meteorites/

I have also reduced the price of some of the books and pamphlets on my
website. I will further reduce the prices another 20% for all used
books and pamphlets except those with an Rarity rating.

I also wanted to mention the new book by Norton and Chitwood was
delayed by the publisher. I am not selling it but would recommend you
pre order a copy from Amazon. Looks like the price is a little higher
as I got mine for $26 or so and now it is $30.

have 80 for sale so please check them out;
