SUNDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 1971
Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity
262nd day - 103 days to come
Letter to Zena Gleman with repros of the two S&T columns
and the BOOK WORLD column on MEM.
"Dear Zena,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Have a million
things to do prior to a three week European third Honeymoon, in
celebration of our 3oth anniversary.
My agent is (----) and she is looking forward
to hearing from you.
It was very pleasant talking to you, and get in touch next time
you are in New York. Regards, Sid "
Jerry Frederick brought me Martin Gardner's column
from the June, July, Aug., and Sept. SCIENTIFIC AMERICANs.
Wrote to Phil Cohen asking for anything he could send
me on Parton's books (see 9/17). Also asked if he
had sent DYNAMO SCHACH.
(cont. from 9/20) [9/22]
Pierre had a French trade magazine, LA REVUE DU JOUET, starting from sometime
in 1969. Looked through them and saw reviews of quite a few
games. Pierre got me repros of the following games, which
I picked up tomorrow: - AUTO-ECOLE, L'AUTOROUTE, CHICAGO,
LA CITADELLE, ÉCOPLANY, ELDORADO, LES GRANDS AMIRAUX, LE GRAND TOURNOI
LE LINGUARAMI, LE MOT CARRE, NAVALITIC, REPORTAGES, LE TRIOKER,
VA AU BAIN, VIVE LES VACANCES.
[Horizontal line stuck out and arrow indicating that next section belongs together with the above section.]
In LA REVUE DU JOUET saw the following which either I didn't ask Pierre
for or he didn't get: -
FACE A FACE - 5 sliding strips are mounted in a frame so
that 5 pictures on each show at one time. Players in turn move
a strip trying to line up 5 of their pictures in a vertical
or diagonal line. Half of the pictures show a number
or different boys; The other half a number of different girls.
(Rough idea of a children's game)
DIAMINO POKER - Five cubes with letters and numbers
on the faces (i.e. - E-1, K-8). In three throws get longest
word and highest total. (No further details.) [May '71 issue.] [preceding square bracketed item and others like it below were included in original document]
LE MONDE DES AFFAIRES (Mallory -John Laurent). Investment game
(looks interesting). [May '71 issue]
LE CROISILLON (Editions d'Alleyrac) Diagramless X-word puzzle
with plastic letters and black spaces. [May '71 issue.]
BOUM - Word game with Board [Jan. '70 issue]
LES CHERCHEURS (ENATA Editions - 93 Rue La-
fayette-Paris -10c). (Pretty sure this is the same game I got
later in Germany with name GOLDGRÄBER or CHERCHEUR D'OR
