I have actually read the Norton!

The library I grew up in seemed to have had, at some point before I
started going there, a librarian who considered all SF to be
"juvenile".  As a result, *all* of Norton's SF was still shelved in
the YA section twenty years later.  (If my fallible memory isn't
acting up, they seemed to have stopped buying Norton some time in the
early 1970s.)  I have strong memories of reading OPERATION TIME SEARCH
but could never remember the title.  (I also read MOON OF THREE RINGS
and EXILES OF THE STARS, and probably some others that didn't make as
distinct an impression on me.  There was a whole shelf of Norton, and
I don't know why I glommed onto these three titles in particular.)
