Yes. Here are two links to their website:

Wirth: http://www.springer.com/computer/book/978-3-642-96719-1 (PIM1?!).
Not cheap but
http://www.amazon.[ca|com|de]/Programming-Modula-2-Niklaus-Wirth/dp/3642835678
claims it to be PIM4 and has an 18 -- 25% discount.

Pomberger: http://www.springer.com/computer/swe/book/978-3-540-18077-7

The book on the Springer page seems to be PIM-1. If so, itt has only historic relevance.

They also have the 4th Edition listed now:

There's an explanation of what they are doing on their Archives page:

"At this point you may be wondering what the Springer Book Archives are all about. The project is an effort at Springer to breathe new life into older books—specifically those published between 1842 and 2005—by making them available in electronic formats. Many of these titles may even be out of print. With this initiative we will enable researchers all over the world to access a wealth of information via their libraries. The individual books will not only be made available digitally, but also in print."
