[meteorite-list] Best all around meteorite books

[Dave Freeman mjwy]

What, no H.H. Ninninger books?  "Find A Falling Star" is very worthy of
having in one's collection, and will pull at one's heart to see his devotion
to the meteorite world. A must to any real meteorite book list.
Just my 2 cents,
Dave F.
