In a short time, someone hopefully will be interested in bidding and purchasing a First Edition copy (signed and numbered #498 of 500) of my book, "The Art of Collecting Meteorites."
I am thankful to Geoff Notkin for taking time out this week to retrieve the "original" book file and mailing a CD to me so I can pursue printing more copies when the last few I have soon sell out. Without his search, the book was forever "lost". Imagine what help I had with this project! . "Meteorite Man" Geoff did the book's design, "Meteorite Man" Steve Arnold played a key role in its concept. Richard Norton wrote the foreword. Joel Schiff edited. Darryl Pitt inspired and shared his knowledge and photos. Tom Phillips donated images of his micro-work including the stunning cover. Others on this message board were key contributors. I will sign copy #499 for an eBay auction in a few months. I'll leave #500, the last to be signed and numbered, to be sold when all other copies are gone. It is still unclear if there will ever be more copies available or if the book will "go out of print." But today, if anyone would enjoy having what some people consider special, please take a look at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220689112129&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Many thanks to all for your support and encouragement. Special thanks to those who have recently purchased second copies as a permanent collectable.
