This book has been in print for a couple of years. What's being released soon is the paperback edition. I bought the hardback for $110 a year ago; if you can find it in that price range, it doesn't seem worthwhile to save just a little for the paperback.

This is _the_ definitive book describing the origin of meteors. Although it deals specifically with cometary sources, much of the material is applicable to asteroidal sources (and therefore meteorites) as well. If you have a theoretical interest in such matters, it should be in your collection.
