Finished Su 7/23/23
This is one of my ancient paperbacks that I bought at the Warehouse Book Sale on Fr 9/29/07. I think this was the old Sears warehouse on the southside of town.
From the back of the paperback:
"One end was in 1964-the other in 1804. People could go both ways. So could...things. For instance, brand-new "antiques" for the 20th century, and marvels of modern industry for the Napoleonic era."
People in the present (first published July 1964) are using a time tunnel to sell 'antiques' that are in mint condition. This seems like a tremendous waste of what could have been possible. However, this theme of selling 'antiques' is very similar to PK Dick's, 'THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE'.
It's a short novel and an easy read. Not too memorable but I'd like to read more by Murray Leinster.
