Hello Al and Geoff, and all,
 
I have been trying to get a few cases too.
And I finally got a response. It is sold out!
And being reprinted. It will be a month, or 2, or....... before it is
available again.
 
And my copy is signed too!
Are you both jealous? ;-)

Hi Geoff and all,

I certainly second what Geoff has said after reviewing a copy of this
wonderful book and it is a first class publication and no collector of
meteorites or meteorite books should be without it!! I've tried
unsuccessfully to buy copies of it all over the midwest. I've not
received an answer yet from the publisher to buy a case or two. So looks
like it is fast becoming a hard to find, newly published book.
Congratulations to the Nortons on their effort to this wonderful resource.
