if he could use some of my games. He is interested in getting

solitaire called CHAOS.
Jan. PLAYTHINGS.
Called Fabio and asked him about Random House's feeling on use
of my games in the French book. He said that 1 or 2
with credit would be fine, but not more.
Had Fabio connect with Diane. She told me that
PLAYBOY had an AGOG review in either the January or February
issue. She'll send me a repro.
In my conversation with Fabio told him that I'd send him
the corrections for the next printing of AGOG early next
week. he said that by the end of the year some 8.000
copies were sold, but that a 10% return rate is to be expected.
He said that this considered a good performance.
