FRIDAY 30 APRIL 1971
120th day - 245 days to come
At Mike Baschkopf's office wrote letters to: Phil Cohen (thanking
him for sending me ULTRACHESS), Frank Armbruster
Four Seasons Publishers (about KNIGHTS, THE NAME GAME,
HAPPY LANDINGS, SNOOKUM, THE ELECTION GAME.) Arthur D. Katz
(about his insurance GAME), and most of a letter to
Stephen K. Howard (thanking him for sending me
THE SOCIETY GAME). // At Push Cart bought another 2 PSYCHE-PATHS.
At Lorry's Book Store looked for the two books Claude
told me about. (See 4/23). Didn't have them, but I got
3 copies of AGOG at $2 each and a copy of "Culin's"
GAMES OF THE ORIENT for $3.75 - the full price. Pierre
Berloquin was interested in this, and maybe I'll hear from
him yet.
Saw a book FAMILY GAMES AMERICA PLAYS by "Walter Gibson"
(Doubleday 1970) which had a lot of standards with cards,
dominos, pencil & paper, and others. Also covers a
number of proprietary games such as MONOPOLY, SCRABBLE,
RACK-O, etc. - giving the rules.
WAR is called EVERLASTING and YACHT is called CHEERIO.
At Spiegel's on Nassau St. saw BOUNDARY and MASTERPIECE
on sale for $5.28 (which would indicate a $6 list. They
also had all of my 3M games.
In Mendozza Book Store bought THE BOOK OF INDOOR GAMES by
"Stanley Pashko" for 75[cents]. Thought that I might have it, and
I did.
Rcd. a card from Violet I. Gunther saying she was shipping BUNCO.
Rcd. a letter & catalog from Mary Hilt. The catalog had nice
pictures of AIRLINE and TRANSFORMATION - tho they were
faked.
Her letter said that she won't be in for the Premium Show.
3M was so mad at Mankato over the wrap-around board for
AIRLINE that they refused to do the game at all. She will
get another supplier but will miss the shows. She
should be able to send me a completed TRANSFORMATION
sometime next month.
Rcd. the puzzle MESHUGGENEH and the unnamed PUZZLE from
Frank Armbruster. Took the first one apart. It is a real
beaut to put together. (didn't do it.)
Rcd. a call from Susan Calhoun who is writing an
article on board games for MONEY'S WORTH Magazine. She saw
AGOG. BB told her I'd call her Monday morning.
