Couldn't be more true! Rocks from Space is great and so is Nortons other book "A Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites." I recommend these books to anyone interested in meteorites at any level.

There are three copies on my shelf - one of them signed by Richard and Dorothy (No, it's not or sale!) "after I read this I will add to my knowledge of this great hobby." Again true as true can be! If a newbie or a "rookie" jumps into this great hobby and starts with the "wrong" books, i.e. books and articles that are far beyond his/her grasp, he or she will soon lose interest in this hobby. I would never advise a newbie to buy and read: HUTCHISON R. (2004) Meteorites: A Petrologic, Chemical, and Isotopic Synthesis Before you can read (and understand) such a book, O.R. Norton's RFS and O.R. Norton's Encyclopedia of Meteorites are a *m u s t read* !!!
