Aloha,

This is a book I cannot finish. Each page immerses you in the history and 
science of the Henbury craters and meteorite. Photographs, letters, hand drawn 
maps and other documents adorn the heavy satin finish pages printed in full 
color. My favorite is a flyer circa 1934 announcing a 401g specimen for $12.03. 
Sections on the metallurgy, atmospheric fragmentation that produced multiple 
and overlapping scatter ellipses, impact shrapnel and impactites are well 
written and comprehensive. 

Were the book only to contain those aforementioned content, one would be 
satiated, but the book goes on to cover other holocene impacts, with chapters 
on Kamil and Whitecourt craters containing full color maps and photographs.

Even if youʻre allergic to books and are barely literate enough to read street 
signs, you will love this one for its photographs and graphics. As a hoarder of 
meteorite literature, this book will hold a favored spot in my library, and I 
highly recommend getting yourself a copy before it is but a regret.
