He would return to his unchanged present, but the Biff with the Almanac would exist in a different dimension where he was rich from winning all the bets. I'm pretty sure that if someone did figure out time travel, we wouldn't hear about it anyways. The government would keep it secret, in the interest of national security, and then run amuck with it.
I see, but the second he handed that almanac to Biff in the past -- he had already changed the future no matter how you slice it. Since the future had changed, how can he return to the future from which he came? It no longer exists after he gave Biff the book. If he returns to the future it would be the one of THAT new reality. AY...time travel.
