sometime in the 60s. This book had time travelers who manipulated time
by changing events in the past (and thus generate a new timeline). The
book also had a character (non-time traveller) who remembered the erased
timelines (IIRC, he, on occasion, couldn't find books he remembered
reading because they had been written in the erased timeline and not the
new one). I also remember that the last time manipulation that the time
travelers performed in the book erased a time line where that character
had been murdered. In the new one, he was still alive and he did
remember being killed. Also, it is not Laumer's _The Great Time Machine
Hoax_ (or _Dinosaur Beach_), Brunner's _Times Without Number_, one of
Poul Anderson's Time Patrol stories (nor _Corridors of Time_), or
Asimov's _The End of Eternity_."

Have you considered that you are that character?

If I was that character, I can assure you that no time manipulations
have affected the last 5 decades. I still have almost all books that I
read in that period.
