What's the right group to seek a title based on some text and publication data?

Hello,

I just joined LibraryThing to see if anyone can help me with a search for the title of a book.

I came across a photo of a page from a book that shows 2-3 paragraphs of text, but nothing that would identify the title or author. The person who posted the photo referenced the book as "HRIP, 1950", but that has not helped my search. Text searches in Google and various AI tools have been unhelpful.

I was going to post in the "Name that Book" group, but the posting guidelines say, "Do not post your title search in this thread. It will not be answered and may be deleted." So I figure that's not the place, and I'm hoping someone can tell me which group I should go to.

Thanks!

>1 engynyr: You actually do want the Name That Book Group. You just shouldn't post in the same thread as the posting guidelines. Instead, post your own new topic.

It's the right group, but not the right thread. After you read the guidelines thread, go back to the group main page at https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/724/Name-that-Book and click the blue "post a new topic" button. Happy searching!

Hi! I’m a newbie looking for a contemporary book about a young Black woman looking for a job. She goes to a casting call at a restaurant (don’t remember if she knew it was casting call) she gets the lead. The show is a reality show set in the 1950s or 1960s and the story ends up changing from original plan because the cast reacts to her being Black. They never break character and she is a housewife who calls her family for cooking help so they become characters. It’s kinda like Truman Show meets the civil rights inequalities in 2000 IRL, but the show remains in the past. I hope this description is making sense; please help me find this book. Thank you!

Luckily I found my book, thanks so much for your help. It’s 1954 by Pepper Pace
