Rule 2-4-3 says that the referee designates the official book "prior to the scheduled starting time of the game." To me, it means that you can't switch halfway through the game.
That being said, I would probably chat with the visiting book and let them know they're in charge. The R can correct the official book - I'd probably say that I'm correcting the home book to exactly reflect the visiting book.

Mark,take a look at the language in R2-1-1-specifically "if they are trained personell acceptable to the referee".There are no other time restrictions used.Just adapt that for use in the present sitch.If a member of the table crew is no longer acceptable,the R can have them replaced. There was a casebook play issued on this once,but I don't have a clue how long ago it was.
