[Editor's Note: Allow me to include one more brief SILLY RECORD,
this one submitted by Barbara Shaw, Serials and Acquisitions
Department. She found this title while barcoding: "Tales from the
Blue Stacks."  Her comment: As it says on one of the Barcode Bucks
(you know, the coupon with which you redeem your "happy candy"), "It
Ain't Easy Bein' Green" either.]
