I think that the "present" time in anime was in 2012 when it was aired, which was 12 years after the release of the first book. This historic event was set to take place in 1967 which was 45 years before 2012 (anime airing year) but 33 years before 2000 (novel releasing year). Then all events in the "present" were shifted for 12 years. This may also explain why Itoigawa-sensei was 61 in anime, while she was just 49 in novel.
