Applying a modern publishing industry standard to our ever-growing list of Gilded Age and Progressive Era books to review on the show, we present an all-new, interactive feature on The Gibson Girl Review… The First 5 Pages Challenge! Throughout this season, we will present the first five pages of various books we are considering for the podcast, and ask you to tell us which ones you want us to review. The winner of the challenge will be featured in a full review episode next season!

Today’s entry is Ice-Cream Alley by Henry Albert Collins, first published in 1918. Listen to the episode, then click the link below to vote—it’s that easy!

But hurry! Voting will be open only until August 22nd, when our next challenger will be revealed.
