imported.
Good morning,
What is quite a story. The half truths, not presenting the whole story, not
presenting all of the facts, as Plotkin has done? Or are you referring to

Greetings. Since I collect basically eucrites, I was
wondering if there are any good prints, photos or
pictures of Vesta that might be available? Also if any
books were ever written solely on Vesta? Thanks, and
hoping those that are lucky enough to be in Munich are
having a great time!!!
