12 WEDNESDAY - APRIL 1972
103RD DAY - 263 DAYS TO COME
To D.K.G. and met with Richard Schuster. He gave me a
copy of ECCENTRIC and asked me to call him with
my opinion. Showed him a copy of S & T and my latest
BOOK WORLD column.
Met Marvin Katz who asked me some questions about
how I invent games and how I feel about being a
freelance inventor.
I loaned him Parker's 75 YEARS OF FUN and YESTERDAY'S GAME.
In looking thru the latter I saw a picture of Pacific's
SPACE CHESS. It has 3 large CHESS boards mounted on a central
post.)
Loaned him Willard Allphin's article on MONOPOLY which he
reproduced at his agent's, who I met, and returned to me.
Gave him a reprint of AGOG. He'll give me a copy of his book
when it comes out.
He mentioned several books he has been using for reference.
One is put out in paper back, but an expensive one -
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TOYS, GAMES, & DOLLS 1860 - 1930
(see 12/5/71) which he borrowed from a friend.
Another is TOYS IN AMERICA (see 7/9/63). The T.M.A. at 200
5th Ave. has a copy which they let him borrow over a
weekend.
He will keep a record of other books he uses and give
me a listing when he returns my books.
To Mike Alber. Not in, but picked up DEALER'S CHOICE and SQUARE OFF.
To Brentano's. Saw SENSITIVITY with a Buzzo Cardosa
(spelling?) label.
Spoke to Dorothy Shapiro and gave her a copy of S & T #30
and a BOOK WORLD. She took me to her office for me to look at
a game she couldn't understand. It was STRATO TAC-TICS.
Told her a little about it and said I'd tell her more when
I get a chance to play it. Gave her my number and told her
to call me if she had any questions about a game. She said
that I had the reputation for being completely honest & fair.
There was new rack for 3M Gamettes with lots of
SLEUTH, MONAD, and quite a few VENTURE. I was afraid
that they weren't moving but Dorothy said they had just
been restocked. Dick Littlefield does it periodically.
Games in general are doing very well.
To Felicia's. Lillian Voegelin there. Spoke to them a little.
Told Felicia I was rather depressed about working so hard and
not being any further along than I was when I quit my job.
She said that whatever else happened ACQUIRE would always
be around.
Looked at the game JUNK. There is a deck of cards with five
each of various types of junk : - "jewelry", "chairs", "lamps",
(cont. on 4/11)
