Thank you for your kind words on the Henbury book Mal. Always a pleasure to hear that one's work is appreciated by the community, particularly if the feedback is as enthusiastic as your's.
For those who haven't had a chance to take a look, the book has recently been added to Amazon's search inside function. By clicking on the cover you can flip through some selected pages: http://www.amazon.de/Henbury-craters-meteorites-discovery-history/dp/300039026X/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_1 <http://www.amazon.de/Henbury-craters-meteorites-discovery-history/dp/300039026X/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_1> Of course, I'm still taking orders.
