There are used copies available online from about $60 to much more.
New copies start around $260 to $300+. (Based on a quick search)
Clottes also wrote The Shamans of Prehistory and The Cave Beneath the
Sea (Cosquer Cave).
About 10+ years ago, I was very lucky to find several new copies of the
books at the old Half-Price Books on Guadalupe St in Austin for about
$25 each. Probably because HPB was getting ready to move.
A group of cavers saw Jean Clottes speak about 10 (?) years ago on
successive nights in San Antonio and Austin, sponsored by the
Archaeological Institute of America. He is an excellent speaker with
great stories. I surprised him with the books which he gladly
autographed. He was happy to know there were cavers in the audience.

Thanks, Jerry. That sure sounds like a very impressive job of creating an
artificial cave.
Inevitably, the discovery of Chauvet Cave gave rise quite quickly to a couple
of coffee-table books.
Chauvet Cave: The Discovery of the World's Oldest Paintings, by Chauvet,
Deschamps, and Hillaire, 1996, seems to be out of print. So, apparently, is a
paperback reprint from 2001.
Chauvet Cave: The Art of Earliest Times, edited by Jean Clottes, 2003, is also
out of print.
Such coffee-table art books seldom stay in print for long. They end up on
remainder tables within a year or so. Both books are available used.-- Mixon
