5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive book, excellent historic sections, 31 Mar 2002

nickfrancis@space.com (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rocks from Space: Meteorites and Meteorite Hunters (Astronomy) (Paperback)

As a new meteorite collector found this book an excellent read, giving both technical and historic aspects of meteorite collecting. Could benifit from a new edition bringing it up to date with numerous recent finds and lunar/martian meteorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars very well written and a must have for all collectors, 16 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rocks from Space: Meteorites and Meteorite Hunters (Astronomy) (Paperback)

I have the first and now this second edition of this book. It is my first choice when I want a more indepth description of specimens. If you buy only one book on meteorites, it must be this one. Lots of photos too!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars comprehensive, well written and full of facts on all aspects, 27 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rocks from Space: Meteorites and Meteorite Hunters (Astronomy) (Paperback)

I've read this book from cover to cover and have gleaned an enormous amount of information on meteors. It covers all subjects from composition of various types of meteors to classifications to what to actually look for if you are hunting for them yourself.
