I just checked Amazon.com and there are some new copies listed by vendors, plus, Amazon has enabled the ability to put one in your shopping cart (I don't recall seeing that the other day.)
That where I started all this.Amazon has been promiseimg me to complete to my order,I also wanted Nortons "rocks from space" and received that a couple of weeks later,since back in March.They kept e-mailing me to see if I wanted them to continue the search for it,and of course I said "YES".
Mike led me to AbeBooks,that looked very promiseing BUT all the books listed had been sold,all my orders came back cancled with the explanation"it may have been previuosly sold and not yet removed from our database".Actualy they gave several excueses that is just one example.
Thanks anyway.
By the way Mike I still haven't tried the magnet on those suspicious rocks I found in my back yard yet,the suspense is mind bending.

Oh, oh ... this is embarrassing. I thought I had ordered the new Springer book on Meteors and Meteorites by O. Richard Norton but discovered today I hadn't!!! Sorry about that guys as I know I was to do a review of it once it arrived.
I see that the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites is on used.addall.com for $43.50 with Biblio.
All the best,
john

Last month I went back to give Amazon one more chance,Ed telling me he seen amazon listing some "NEW" copies available,they told me I could expect delivery between 07/17 and 07/24.This morn I got e-mail say once again saying they were unable to find the book and if wanted them to keep searching.If you go back to their web site they will still claim to have new and used available.I don't think I will ever try Amazon again.
Mike, I e-mailed Jensen meteorites like you suggested and he said that new books just are not out there and try finding a used one.
Thanks for every ones attempt to help me anyway.It was back in March of this year when I suggested that "a couple of you pros start a forum on meteorites and collecting them"Thanks for takeing me up on it..I can't believe how much interest it has developed.
Thank you,
Dick
