Guess what? I found it! Mine is a 1599 page paperback, copyright 1960. I'm going to go print a label now to get it in the mail today to Carrie. Thanks, Carrie! Bob said he's willing to validate it. The book is The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. The copy in the collection, apparently, is pretty hideous. Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading - When Santa Fell to Earth by Cornelia Funke
