[meteorite-list] Request: Review of the book - Tektites in theGeological Record

[James Tobin]

Hi Pat,
It has been several years ago now but, when the book first was coming out I 
did a review of it in Meteorite Magazine. A quick summary of the review 
would be that it is a pricey book that has a lot of new information about 
tektites and a good amount of new material not really easy to find elsewhere 
on recent microtektites and clinopyroxene spherules discoveries. There were 
a few minor things I noted that were off track but it is a good book. Though 
as you noted you have to really love tektites if the price is now $130 for 
it. Wish I knew what issue of Meteorite the review was in but maybe I can 
find it on my hard drive and send you a copy. Or maybe one of our list 
friends can give us all  the issue info.

Best regards, Jim Tobin
