I do like the alternate Earth/parallel Earth genre. I have't read much of it (yet), but I'm searching for new books in this genre. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.
Hmm... the first ones I remember reading were Edwin Abbott Abbott's Flatland and H. Beam Piper's Paratime series and Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen. Then there were Keith Laumer's Imperium stories. Hmmm... more outright fantasy were Andre Norton's Witch World books. Clifford D. Simak's Ring Around the Sun. Fletcher Pratt and L. Sprague de Camp's Harold Shea stories.

I'll leave it to someone else to drag this list into the 1970's and later.
