I don't necessarily care if my books "match". I mean, I'm super happy when I can get them all in hardback or all in paperback. (Let's face it -- generally, it's all in paperback, because it's cheaper! LOLz) But, if I have some of a series in paperback and some in hardback, I'm not too fussed over it.
But, this series is special to me, so I really wanted some nice, matching copies of it. I'm like that with certain series -- which means it's usually harder for me to track them down, because I don't decide I need "special" books for them until way down the line. That sounds weird, doesn't it? I'm not sure how else to explain it ... *sigh*
BUMMER about your Chronicles of Narnia book! That would upset me, too. Particularly because of the changes in the numbering/order of the books. That would totally make me crazy. Have you tried half.com and abebooks? You might have some luck replacing it there, although it might end up being expensive. =(
