THURSDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 1967
St. Matthew, Evangelist
264th day - 101 days to come
At Rosenbloom's Dept. Store bought TRI-KING for $3.50.
Called Claude. He'll come a week from Saturday to work on
TEN LITTLE INDIANS. I said I'd call Jules Cooper tomorrow & in the
course of the conversation mention about Claude's working on improvement
before submitting.
A neighbor of Claude's gave out sets of colored plastic discs to the
children in the neighborhood. Claude is going to try to buy some of
them for the two of us.
Called Arthur & he was glad to hear from me. His manuscript of the
HIGH DECK book is at Grove Press. When (and if) he gets it
back he'll loan it to me to get reproductions. There are 5 games.
Will get together for a NYGA meeting soon.
Went to Brentano's.
Saw CONFIGURATIONS. It is series of arrangement puzzles using a red
and a blue set of digits from 0 to 9 and different diagrams on
cardboard. (Didn't look at it completely - will probably buy it.)
Also looked at JUTLAND again. (I guess I'll have to but this too.)
To Korvette's. Nothing of interest.
To French Book store at Rockefeller Center. There were two expensive
books, one Hoyle for $12.50, and a history of games for
$16.50 (or was it $17.50). The first one had a card solitaire
GAME that was a little different. Some cards are layed out face
down in a checkerboard pattern. An equal number of red and
black cards are shuffled together and layed out face up at
either end passed the face down cards. The play seems
to be similar to CH CHINESE CHECKERS but with a limit of
two cards of the opposite color. (Didn't get all the detail.)
This started me thinking of a card GAME.
