Its now considered an associated text of the Bible by the Catholic church, after being banned for so many years as heresy. It was lost for a long time but a few copies turned up in Ethiopia of all places. I would also check the validity of the copies sold on Amazon. There are copies of the Necronomicon in print, but those are the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and not the real document.
If you want more info on any other apocryphal writings or pagan beliefs and organizations I highly recommend
www.occultresearch.org. Their piece on the Necronomicon is both eye opening and quite frightening.
EDIT: Here is an online copy of the Book of Enoch
