Well, I came up with something.
I don't know why, but for some reason I started thinking about a book I read back when I was twelve or thirteen years old -- The Universe Between, by Alan Nourse. I tracked it down, bought it, and I loved it again! But this is very much a "way the future was" story, and it was a Young Adult story even back in the mid-60s.
It's a mash-up of High Threshold and The Universe Between, novelettes that originally appeared in 1951 issues of Astounding Magazine. There were some obvious updates during the 1965 "mashing" but even those are a bit dated now.
Still, the writing was good, the parallel universe storyline was pretty original, and I liked the ending. It's available at Amazon (US, at least) from Prologue Books. There were very few typos and scanning errors.
Now, back to wondering what I'll read next.
