It is available, and it's massive. Individual ebooks of the various volumes (there are over a dozen) are on Amazon, and Walt at one point (maybe still) was selling a CD containing Word documents of all those same volumes for people to print out themselves if they cared to.
I own the entire chronology and have read just a portion of it, but what I have read is very good. I can post more specific details about the volumes (right down to word count) if there's an interest, but I'll state up front that the four volumes of the main chronology in their totality (not including the massively detailed supplemental volumes) are just over six million words long, or about four times the length of Bugliosi's RECLAIMING HISTORY.
Edit - this is what I posted on the Education Forum about it a day or two ago -

Quote:All the various volumes of it (and there are nearly 20 volumes - four main volumes of the Chronology proper, then a dozen or more appendix volumes on various subjects) are available on Amazon. if anyone wants to read the most assassination-heavy volume, grab 'DEATH', the second part of the Chronology. It's around 1600 A4 pages in print form, and has (as an example) about 100 pages or so just devoted to the minute of JFK's assassination. The first volume, 'DYNASTY', covers events prior to the shooting, DISAPPOINTMENT covers the Warren Commission, and DISCOVERY covers the years after that, and each of those is again around 1500 pages long.
The appendix volumes are also fascinating - in the medical volume, Walt goes through all the medical testimony from Warren Commission, to the HSCA, to the AARB period, and annotates it with footnotes that highlight contradictions in testimony and other observations. A volume on the U-2 Powers flight and shootdown over Russia follows the entire Powers trial and the machinations of the CIA through that period. There are volumes on the witnesses in Dealy Plaza, and a volume on the testimony of folks who were in the motorcade. I'm just scratching the surface here.
As a final note, Walt chronologically deconstructs Judith Baker's assertions from her ME AND LEE volume to match them against documented events, and methodically rips her narrative apart throughout much of his first 'DYNASTY' volume. It's grimly funny - he's not a fan of her book at all.
Walt's chronology is well worth a read in part or whole if anyone is interested.
