Looking for a couple (Hard to Find) Alternative History Fiction Books...
Hi,
I'm completing a three-book ISU about alternative histories. I've already collected my first two novels, Philip Dick's The Man in the High Castle and Robert Harris's Fatherland...
However, despite numerous options, for my third novel, all the ones I was looking for i can't find locally and have been having trouble finding online...
In order of interest/preference...
The Alteration - Kingsley Aims
Red Alert - Peter George
Bring the Jubilee - Ward Moore
The Iron Dream - Norman Spinrad
So, I'd be willing to purchase outright or would pay a small fee to be loaned the book for the duration of this assigment (til after Christmas), whatever is best for you. Just let me know, I'm sure we could come to a deal for any of these books, and someone would really be helping me out.
Also open to other alternative histories novels.

I don't know how I missed this first time around!
Not that you asked [
], but there is a nice page devoted to, er, alternative titles here!
You may also like to consider:
The Alteration is a nice book but one that I don't own. At about the same time I read it, in my teens, I also tried Bring The Jubilee but couldn't get into it - which was a very rare occurrence back then. I have a vague feeling that someone may have given it to me in among a pile of old books: if I can find that one as well or instead....
If anyone else can be of more positive/speedy assistance feel free to chime in!

- Gibson and Sterling's The Difference Engine
- Harrison's A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!
- Keith Roberts' Pavane.
