[meteorite-list] Meteorite Books

[Walter Branch]

Hello Everyone,   Just want to plug two great meteorite books (neither of which I am selling)   First is the great autobiographical account of Harvey Nininger.  This should be on the bookshelf of every meteorite hunter, if not collector.  Every time I write about this book I use the term inspirational and it truly is.  Nininger's conversational style of writing also make it a fun to read book.   This book is somewhat difficult to find but I note that the Natural History book dealer Donald Hahn has some.  I got a copy last week for only $25.00 plus shipping.  Well worth the money and if you are interested in other natural history books, his catalog is a treasure.  I don't think Donald has a website but his email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Also arriving in the mail today was the second edition of the Jensen brothers and Anne Black' Meteorites from A to Z.  This book is a great compliment to Monica Gradys Catalog of Meteorites.  I think of this book as a "field" edition of Grady's catalog (and a lot less expensive).  It is greatly expanded and has a nice introduction by Dr. Alain Carion.  The Jensen's site is www.jensenmeteorites.com and Anne's is www.impactika.com   Both books are very nice additions to a meteorite collectors bookshelf.   -Walter  ------------------------------------------ www.branchmeteorites.com
