Why it’s on the list: A 1943 single-volume hemispheric history of the New World — North, Central and South America treated as one story. Long out of print; it circulates as a scan.
Where I saw it: Flagged by @CCOOMMMMAA on X (October 1, 2025) on finding a scanned copy online, addressed to “any @whatifalthist fans (like myself)” — a book he had wanted and could not otherwise get hold of.
