Yes, that’s The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerold.
Which is only fair since he spent a good part of the novel hooking up with himself anyway.

I checked our library catalog first, but there are no copies available in our consortium. With the power of almost 50 libraries at our disposal, that’s kind of rare! Goodreads is my fall back in those cases.

Perhaps I’ll use my time-belt to go back and stamp on Captain Cook’s Compass.
(You gotta love the alliteration).
Maybe that would leave the indigenous population in peace for a couple of centuries?
“But where would we send the bread-stealers?”, they cried.
At least, that’s what 17th-century Mail readers would cry.

You’d also have to deal with the French
and the Dutch
and, just to be on the safe side, the Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Arabs and Romans
and if you’ve somehow managed all this I can practically guarantee you that the fucking Vikings who aren’t even real as such will show up somehow.
Temporal engineering? Not even once!

Well, firstly, how would you know?
I do get the argument against; “if we knock off Hitler how do we know we won’t get someone worse?” etc.
But then again, how do we know we won’t get something better?
So have fun with it, that’s what it’s for.
I might go back to '63 and burn down a book repository, much as I love libraries.

I would like to meet the Asp.
“What the hell?
I have to swim through milk again?
What is it with you people?
You can’t bathe in water like normal creatures?
Someone’s gonna get fucking bitten for this, I swear!”

You should also go to them building one of the pyramids and talk to the average worker too!

Yeah! and the artists, too! I’d also wanna find historians and librarians everywhere I visited.
It would be amazing to see the pyramids (as mentioned above), temples and other buildings in pristine condition… /damn near faints
