Hi Michael,

This is going to sound extra-nerdy, but is the new level of meteorites
like going up levels in a role playing game or Dungeons and Dragons?
For each time you read through the Magick Meteorite Tome, you gain one
level in meteoritics skill. LOL

I wish all of the entries had more extensive background information or
anecdotes, but the ones that do are well worth the read. It's
fascinating to read some of the entries about obscure falls and finds
I have never heard of or seen for sale on the open market. I don't
know how I ever lived without this book. I refer to it frequently and
it's a good reference to look up some older meteorites mentioned in
MAPS abstracts.

Best regards,

MikeG
