Hi all. An article in today's newspaper pointed me to this website. Former Apple Computer graphics guru Bill Atkinson who is now a photographer, has a new book out titled "Within The Stone" with some awesome pics. At his website, click on "Images" and it will take you to a page of all his different photographs. Quite impressive. www.billatkinson.com/Homepage.pllater, Ed

Hey KD, and all, don't know if you knew this or not, but there are 5 pages of just the rock pics and you can click on each thumbnail and bring up a larger pic with a description and location of each rock.

i couldn't wait.....i am SO bad, i ordered it. but here is what i i propose, after i give it a good gawk, i will lend it to anybody that wants a browse with the promise that they will forward it to the next on the list, so essentially you all just pay postage to see it. i expect it back fairly dog eared, no problem, you got to share with your friends. looks like a got-to-see for addicts. you all have become very dear to me, start a list, first come, first serve. this way we all get it for christmas. well, it might not make it to the UK or NZ by then, but a revolving library sounds kinda cool for an overpriced book.

Hi KD. Ain't nothin' wrong with Xmas in August. I like your idea of sharing, but I'm not sure of how to go about making a list. Maybe you could post a message when you're ready to send it and first to answer gets it, and then that person does the same thing and so on. Yes? No! Maybe? Anyone interested? Any other ideas?
Ed
PS: Another idea; since you're in NY, maybe send it to people on your side of the country first and then let it work it's way west.
Any way it's done, it is an extremely generous offer you're making, thank you.

Wow! Some incredible pictures of some incredible rocks!
KD, put me down on that list! I would love to see all of them. Although they are fabulous on the web, I would like to see them closer!
I do think Stoner should get it first though, since he's the one that found it. I usually want to be first in all things, but this time I'll be nice and let Stoner go first!

Hey llana, go for it. As with this tumbling hobby, patience is a necessity and a virtue. I'll wait til it gets out this way(Calif). Put me on your list KD.
later, Ed
