I have spent years wanting to get my hands on this book, and now it’s back in print!
Most people think of Edward Packard, creator of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, as the father of interactive fiction (which would make David Corenswet the nephew of interactive fiction - but I digress), but actually, interactive fiction has two mothers, Doris Webster and Mary Alden Hopkins, who published the first known gamebook, Consider the Consequences, in 1930, the year before Packard (who deserves credit for innovating the use of second person in IF, as well as popularizing the genre) was born. Having loved Choose Your Own Adventure as a child, while being just a tad annoyed that the reader character was nearly always illustrated (and sometimes referred to in text) as a boy or man, I felt a little bit vindicated when I learned that the first gamebook centered the experience of a young woman.
Consider the Consequences has been out of print for a long time, and it’s fiendishly hard to get one’s hands on. (There certainly hasn’t been a copy on eBay since I learned how to get keyword-specific notifications.) Until now, when it’s been brought back in print by Penguin Random House.
