Hi folks,

Wife and kids want me to pick out a book for Father's Day.

I'm interested in one of these three books:
 1) Meteorites by Caroline Smith
 2) Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorite by Norton
 3) Meteorites: Messengers from space by Fritz Heide ( the updated latest edition)

I would like input from listees in which is the best buy for info in regard to price and overall usefullness. I already have Rocks from Space. Norton's Field Guide seems good but expensive. Amazon is sold out at the $26 price but there is one available at a nearby Barnes and Noble for $39.95. Smith's book too basic? I have Heide's original edition, and like it, but have not seen the updated edition to know if the updates make it worth buying.

Your input would be appreciated.

Regards,
Henry Mendoza
