About 10 years ago I read a novel called "Time and Again".
The book had been around for a while at that time so its older that
10 years now.  

It was very similar to "Somewhere in time" in that the man who did
the traveling used exactly the same method as Collier used. 
He was summoned by the U.S. Government as being mentally suitable
for this kind of experiment which the government was doing on
a very large scale.  However, the story delt only with one mans adventure.

He was placed in a room in the Decota hotel in New York and
eventually accomplished time travel to his destination of 1887 (I think)
and the rest of the novel delt with his adventures there.  As he
later discovered he could travel back and forth and got better at
it each time.  He even brings a woman back with him once!  

If you liked "Somewhere in time" you would love this book.  It's
a much more comprehensive treatment of the subject and  dumb      
paradoxes like most of the second rate time travel stuff out these days.

P.S. Anyone remember "The Final Countdown"  ?
