MONDAY 10 NOVEMBER 1969
Martin Luther - Born 1483
314th day - 51 days to come
Thinking about COUNTERPOINT and the possibility of using
an [modified Z shape] instead of an L. An [modified Z shape] would
be more like an + in difficulty, but it might slow up the game too much.
Think I'll stay with the L.
Signed books to sell to Bertha & give to Flo. Also signed
one for Kiva and Athene.
Diane Jaust called. WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY has a rave review on A GAMUT OF GAMES. Because of it Bergdorf Goodman contacted her. Although they don't have a book department they want to order some. Diane directed a salesman
to them. They told her that they don't often handle books but
when they do they usually become popular.
Jack Kessie, the book reviewer (I think) of PLAYBOY asked for another
copy of the book, which Diane sent him.
Rcd. a letter from Warren Buell. Will be in from Wednesday evening, thru
Saturday. Will call to see if we can get together.
Rcd. VARIATIONS VARIANTS AND GENERALIZATIONS OF TIC-TAC-TOE from Solomon Golumb. Not too interesting.
Rcd. a letter from
{Philip Michael Cohen
{Young Israel of Cornell
{106 West Ave.
{Ithica, New York 14850
He saw Martin Gardner's SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN article (where?)
and bought a copy of A GAMUT OF GAMES (where?) and wrote
to me (where did he get my address?). Asked some questions
and sent me some game ideas : - NULL, NULL CHESS,
CROCKINOCKINANY, P & P GAME on large sheet of graph paper.
Ordered a case of 6 - #12 Liberty boxes (see 11/3).
Phil Cohen gave AGOG as an acronym for my book.
(cont. from 11/11) [11/12]
way I wanted it. Thinking of using 4 configurations:
"1 + [3" and also making the scores "5 - 3 - 2 - 1".
