[meteorite-list] AD: Rare Books - Krinov, Buchwald, and Burke

[Phil Morgan]

Hello Everyone,
I need to freshen up my library and have a couple of books to offer.

First, Krinov's classic work Principles of Meteoritics.  Very comprehensive 
coverage of fall phenomena, morphology, and a first-hand account of the 
Sikhote-Alin strewn field among many other topics.  Anyone with a nice 
Sikhote-Alin collection needs this book.  Lots of pictures.  Packed with 
information but most of it is very readable.

Ex-library from Purdue University with usual artifacts but is in very good 
condition for a 47 year-old book.  The spine is slightly faded but the cover 
is in good condition - no frayed corners or anything.  No dust jacket - 
don't know if it originally came with one or not.  Interior is very clean.

Very rare.  A web search won't usually pull up any for sale.  There happen 
to be two on Amazon at the moment for $350 each.  Would anyone give $325 for 
my copy?  Plus $5 insured shipping in the US.  It's a heavy book so may be 
expensive to ship overseas but if someone really wants to, I can try to 
price international shipping.


Second is not quite so rare but a nice copy of Burke's Cosmic Debris.  A 
very comprehensive history of meteorites.  Also ex-library but in great 
condition.  Interior is spotless and cover is in great condition except for 
a couple of stickers.  No dust jacket.  Doesn't look like it was ever read 
except that there are half a dozen dates on the checkout slip so it must 
have been at least taken out.

How about $40 plus same shipping as above.



And third, unfortunately, is not Buchwald's well-known, comprehensive 
Handbook of Iron Meteorites but rather a mini version.  Specifically:

Study of Six Iron Meteorites by V.F. Buchwald

Babb's Mill, Follinge, Indian Valley, Netschaevo, Scottsville, and Seelasgen

ANALECTA GEOLOGICA NO. 2

MINERALOGISK MUSEUM - KOBENHAVN

1967



I put this one on e-bay just for fun

On my want list are:
O'Keefe's 1976 book and A Color Atlas of Meteorites in Thin Section.  If 
anyone has either they are looking to part with I might be interested.

Regards to all,
Phil
