No, Dell #7, #8, and #9 were all with his input, but he disliked the 
final version of #8 -- thought it tried too hard to be funny.

In general, #7, #9, and the trilogies are the only ones that really 
matter. #1-#6 and #8 don't really contribute to the story (the point 
being not that they're bad, but that they're reset-button stories, 
except, perhaps, as touching Invisible Isabel).
