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

[Charley]

Hi all,

My copy arrived this past Saturday 6/28. I received an email a couple of 
days before that it was on the way. Guess the estimated ship date of July 21 
was wrong
after all. And the book is way cool! I haven't had a chance to read it but I 
have looked through it a bit and appears to be up to O. Richard Norton's 
usual high standards.
And a lot of the items that were photographed were provided by list members!

Mexico Doug's advice that I should email Amazon was dead on- not only did I 
get the discount but Amazon did ship the book promptly after my complaint.
Thanks Doug!


Best regards,

Charley
