MAPS is the official academic journal of the Meteoritical Society. The Meteoritical Society is the world's leading body that governs the research and nomenclature of meteorites. MAPS stands for "Meteoritics and Planetary Science". In addition to meteorites, MAPS also contains papers on comets and near-Earth objects. The majority of the contents are scientific papers about meteorites, but some of it is approachable by the advanced layman. There are also occasional articles and book reviews. Each journal has a heavy stock cover and is a couple of hundred pages containing a dozen or more papers. There are charts, diagrams, tables, and photos. The journal is available by subscription at a price of hundreds of dollars per year. Meteoritical Society members get these journals with their memberships, and I am offering these surplus copies.
