The Andraud book has a bunch of trios by various composers, collected by Andraud and published by his own company. That company was taken over many years ago by Southern Music, which may well have been taken over itself. The edition I got many years ago still had the Andraud imprint, with the Southern name put on with a rubber stamp.
The book is for flute, oboe and clarinet, but should be playable on 2 flutes and clarinet, though the 2nd part may get a bit low. It starts out with a wonderful trio by Haydn, taken from his "London" trios, which I think were originally for flute, violin and cello. If so, you could get the original, though you may have to do a bit of transposing in the second part and learn to transpose bass clef on the clarinet (which, believe it or not, you can learn to do).
There's a wonderful trio by Beethoven for 2 oboes and english horn, which is printed in a version for 3 clarinets in the back of the Lazarus method, book 3. You have the choice of playing it from Lazarus and transposing the 3rd part up a step or getting the original and playing the english horn part using chalumeau register fingerings in the clarion. Once again, this transposition can be learned without an impossible amount of trouble, and it's worth learning to be able to play F horn parts in a pinch.
Have fun. If everything were easy, it would hardly be worth doing, and the more "odd" things you learn how to do, the more you get to play. I've played a whole lot of string quartets by reading the viola part in bass clef.
