[meteorite-list] "Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites" now Available

[Pat Brown]

I pre-ordered on May 26th and my Amazon account shows that the book shipped by 2nd day air (I have joined Amazon's Prime program that offers expedited order fulfillment and 2nd day air shipment on all orders for $80/yr) on Monday the 23rd and shows expected delivery on Wednesday June the 25th. 

Best Regards, 
          Pat
