Hi Mike,

It's still in print, but it's fantastically-expensive and is rarely
available used at discount. I paid over $220 for my copy.

You can order from Amazon and some major book sellers. I got mine on
eBay from a seller in the UK, with shipping I think the total was
about $230. Beware buying used, because there is a CD-ROM in the back
of the book (to install the whole shebang on your PC) and it's
sometimes missing from the used copies.

http://www.amazon.com/Catalogue-Meteorites-Monica-M-Grady/dp/0521663032/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247951296&sr=8-1

I consider it a must-have, along with Cosmic Debris, Rocks from Space,
Meteorite Craters, MAPS, Meteorite Magazine, and Norton's Field Guide.

Best regards,

MikeG
