TwoThumbs Up!

Hello Al and Geoff, and all,
 
I have been trying to get a few cases too.
And I finally got a response. It is sold out!
And being reprinted. It will be a month, or 2, or....... before it is  
available again.
 
And my copy is signed too!
Are you both jealous?     ;-)

Hi Geoff and all,

I certainly second what  Geoff has said after reviewing a copy of this 
wonderful book and it is a  first class publication and no collector of 
meteorites or meteorite books  should be without it!! I've tried 
unsuccessfully to buy copies of it all  over the midwest. I've not 
received an answer yet from the publisher to buy  a case or two. So looks 
like it is fast becoming a hard to find, newly  published book. 
Congratulations to the Nortons on their effort to this  wonderful resource.
