Hi
I have complied a list of the mistakes that were made to content in writing the
second edition of our book "Meteorites from A to Z". This does not include the
inevitable missing periods commas or the like. If you want I have an easier to
read MS Word file that shows the actual corrections in red and is sized to
match the pages in the book. Let me know if you want a copy and I can email the
file to you.
Somewhat surprising, to me any way, only three of the mistakes came from
readers of the book. So if you have any additional errors please let me know so
corrections can be made in future editions.
I do have updates to information as well but have not included it on this page.
You will have to buy the next edition in order to get this information. Of
course I'm always looking for update to TKWs, corrected classifications,
spellings and any additional information that should be added to future
additions. Please include a reference if you have one or first hand information
if no reference is available.
