Yes. Might take a while to find though.

A mix-up at Central Time Dispatching. They should never have put Wayne
on the switches.

Do you know about Abebooks?

They filled just such a need for me by finding the Pooh books in the right
edition.

I know of them, but haven't used them; and since there seems to have
been some overlap of the "right" covers with other ones, I can't just
give a year of publication for each book... thanks for the thought,
though, and I'll try them on ones that Villagers are unable to
produce...
