Re: (meteorobs) Meteor shower prediction
Lew Grammar wrote below about the McKinley book which is great for lots of

Powell Books http://www.powells.com/ often has copies and will notify you
by email when they get a copy.
Abe Books http://dogbert.abebooks.com/ has four copies as of today.
I have not tried any other search sites.
