I would have been checking books out of the small town school library so anything I was reading in 68 wouldn't have been published in 68. Or 67, or 66 and maybe a couple year before.[1] Well, there may have been the rare exception in the drugstore revolving book rack that I convinced Mom to buy.
[1]Slight advantage was it was all grades school so I had access to books considered too advanced for my grade level, which I was reading well above.
