Hi Kevin,
Received my signed copy, no. 42, of your book yesterday. Mailed on Feb., 9th,
arrived Feb., 17th. [I was beginning to worry a tad since I've missed shipments
on three different parcels, all in U.S., since mid December.] Eight days across
1,293 miles (or 2,061 km- for those of you who are metrically inclined.) Seems
like more and more our United States Postal Service is operating like many
postal sevices in the various third world countries, sort of a hit and miss proposition.
Must be the price of gas or having to fight off terrorists along the way, or something.
I don't know. Seems like the Pony Express made better time delivering mail while
fighting off or outrunning our native American Indians. But who I am to say?
Thank goodness for email- spam and all.
Back to the point... Fantastic book. Fills a niche that's barely been addressed in
any other meteorite related books that I've ever read. It is a most welcome addition
to my collection, which has expanded to the point where I'm seriously considering
moving my bed into the garage so I can have a little walk-around room.
The book is definitely a keeper (but really, I keep all of them- which partially explains
my critical lack of living space.) You've written on some fascinating topics and
provided many stunning photographs. Obviously you've put a tremendous amount of
work and thought into the book. I don't see how you can sell such a beautifully
printed book so reasonably.
My sincere thanks to all of you who were involved in creating this fine book.
If this lousy weather continues through the weekend, I will have the book completely
read by Monday. Great timing on the delivery, USPS.
Best regards,
Jerry

All orders for "The Art of Collecting Meteorites" received from individuals and dealers as of 12:00PM EST today, Monday, February 14, are winging around the world as we speak.
There is still time to order a signed and numbered copy and this can be accomplished by looking at:
_www.theartofcollectingmeteorites.com_ (http://www.theartofcollectingmeteorites.com)
I thank those who have purchased their copy and to those who have written encouraging words.
I invite thoughtful criticism sent privately to me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) that would improve any future edition.
I also want to thank list members for tolerating these "ads" and "updates" without complaint. This one should be the last.
Happy Valentine's y un abrazzo los todos,
Kevin Kichinka
