[meteorite-list] New meteorite book _The_Fallen_Sky_

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

You had to go and stop the sample pages where the topic on the last  
paragraph states::

"The very act of collecting, many say is  sexual..."

Thanks, now we all will have to go out and buy this just to  find out what 
he is talking about.

While I have heard people in the field  tell others to go do "something" 
with themselves, I never really thought of  meteorites and meteorite 
collecting in the terms of being sexual in  nature.  
 
And you say there is 448 pages of this?

My copy of The Fallen Sky arrived  today.  I've had just a few minutes to 
look
over it so no major details,  but it is a sizable hardback (448 pages of 
text not
counting index, notes,  and such) and is divided into 10 sections, each on a
different  meteorite-related topic. Section 7 is "A Serious Case of the I 
Wants:
The  Passions of the Dealers" which should particularly interest many list
members  as a few of you make cameo appearances.

I did a quick scan of a few  sample pages from that chapter.  I didn't work 
to
make them actually  look good (which might require disarticulating the 
pages to
get the inside  edges flat) or to give a whole segment, but just to give an 
idea
of the  contents.
