Hello Lister,
Here is something I found on the Internet about the book called Meteors by C. P. Oliver , published in 1925, which was highly regarded in the early days of the study of meteors and meteorites. Here is a link

to an original copy printed in 1925, from Lincoln LaPaz personal library, which has also been autographed by Dr LaPaz. For those who don't know, Dr LaPaz was the founder of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico. Within the book there are several pages with notation marks made by Dr LaPaz and autographed by him.
Now would this book have any historical significance to meteorite historians or the University of New Mexico? Does something of this nature come up often in the meteorite market and is there a collectiblity for items like this for collecters or institutions?
