Hi All
 Just wanted to let everyone know about two new meteorite books.

First is a new Cambridge title "The Origin of Chondrules and 
Chondrites". It is by Derek Sears. I have included a summary of the 
book from their web site.

"Drawing on research from the various scientific disciplines 
involved, this text summarizes the origin and history of chondrules 
and chondrites. Including citations to every published paper on the 
topic, it forms a comprehensive bibliography of the latest research. 
In addition, extensive illustrations provide a clear visual 
representation of the scientific theories. The text will be a 
valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in planetary 
science, geology and astronomy."
The website has several pdf documents of portions of the book at: 
http://us.cambridge.org/titles/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521836034

The list price is $110 but we will sell for $95 for a limited time. 
Shipping should be less than $5 in the USA. I will quote exact prices 
to USA and overseas when I have copies of the book. That should be 
within two weeks. Please order by this weekend.

The last book is the previously offered book "Meteorites a Chemical 
and Petrologic Synthesis" by Hutchison. List is $135. We will sell 
for $115 plus shipping. This has become one of my favorite books on 
meteorites. I have heard back from several others who took advantage 
of our earlier offer as well and the response has been great. The 
book is quite technical in nature but it is a great way to dig deeper 
into an understanding of meteorites. The first printing of the book 
was sold out and additional copies should be available in March. Highly recommended.
