[meteorite-list] Tucson 2: Major Meteorite Feature Article

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

Greetings all. Chilly day here in Tucson.

Further to yesterday's post, I am delighted to announce that the main 
editorial piece in the 2008 "Tucson EZ-Guide" is a major new meteorite 
feature, entitled:
"Tucson is the Meteorite Capital of the World."

Written and researched by "EZ-Guide" staff writer, lifelong Tucson show 
veteran, and noted Arizona silversmith, Lisa Marie Morrison, this 
11-page feature includes brand-new exclusive interviews with the Tucson 
meteorite dealers: Haag, Killgore, Farmer, and Notkin; a tribute to the 
late Jim Kriegh; an overview of the Tucson meteorite scene; and many 
never-before-seen photographs. I believe this to be the most 
significant magazine feature on meteorites since the "Astronomy" 
special back in August of 2006.

Here is a preview:

The  "Tucson EZ-Guide" will be available, free of charge, at all show 
venues for the duration of the '08 show, starting next week. I realize 
that many of you who cannot make it to Tucson collect meteorite 
articles, and this issue is sure to become an instant collectible. I am 
therefore offering to mail a free copy of the book to any List members 
who request one, but the guide is nearly 200 pages so please reimburse 
me for postage.

If you would like a copy, please follow these instructions exactly:

(1)  PayPal the correct postage amount to info at aerolite.org

- USA first class:  $2.50
- Canada air mail:  $4.50
- Rest of the world air mail:  $9.00

These books are very expensive to produce, so let's please keep it to 
one per person, unless you seriously need a second copy. If so, add a 
couple of extra bucks postage.


(2)  After you've done the PayPal thing, please send me an email with 
your full name and mailing address in the body of the email, and "FREE 
TUCSON GUIDE" in the subject header. Even if you think I already have 
your address on file, please do it this way to save me time.

This offer is intended for anyone who genuinely wants a copy for their 
personal collection. I better not see any on eBay  : )

Please note: I will be mailing your copy AFTER the 2008 gem show is 
over. That means late February. Please do not write and bug me and ask 
where your copy is. We are extremely busy from now until about February 
20, and I promise to get them in the mail as soon as I can, after the 
tents have all gone home. It'll be worth the wait. This is a terrific 
piece.

Finally, I'd like to personally thank Melodie Farmer, Ruben Garcia, 
Martin Horejsi, and Marvin Killgore, all of whom went out of their way 
to provide great photos for this feature. And especially Lisa Marie who 
did a stellar job on the interviews and writing.


Sincerely,

Geoff N.
