RE: how useful is Meeu's Canon?
The 1966 book by Meeus et al. is available from Better World Books for US $266.15.
That is certainly a lot of money for quite some old information.

I find http://www.eurobuch.com useful to track down old books. There is certainly a ton of stuff out there at good prices. Probably you have luck with our booklist here.

Here are alternative suggestions for the old Meeus text:

Mucke / Meeus, Canon of Solar Eclipse, 1992 comprises a description of the calculation method including the visibility area. It includes numerical examples. The canon is intended for historical purposes. This useful publication can be ordered from http://www.astronomisches-buero-wien.or.at/apub.htm. About EUR 66,-

Meeus, Elements of Solar Eclipses, Willmann-Bell, 1989, http://www.willbell.com/math/mc6.htm, About US$ 20.
