[meteorite-list] 'Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites' - Two Thumbs Up!

[lebofsky at lpl.arizona.edu]

Hi Ruben:

Do you have a copy?

Can you write a very short (one or two paragraph) review. I am really
trying to get as many of these as possible for the November issue
(deadline end of this week).

Thanks.

Larry
