Hi Mark --
 
I found the National Geographic Society web site at
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/cdrom/maps/ but had to call their Online
Store/Catalog Inquiries number at 888 CALL NGS (888 225 5647) to learn
that that there are 30 CD-ROM discs in this set.  The list price is
$79.95, but I have seen it for slightly less in discount stores.
Libraries may also be able to get it for less through vendors.
