TUESDAY 9 NOVEMBER 1971
313th day - 52 days to come
Called Fabio and made a date to go there at 4.
Rcd. from Edith Slotkin a cpopy of the Reiss mailer with
NINE OF SWORDS, etc. This was sent to Gimbel's charge
account customers.
Rcd. 3 copies of a college newspaper from Florida. Mike Abrams
was listed as one of the people involved. Had a few simple
puzzles but nothing of interest in this direction.
To Brentano's. Saw NOSTALGIA (ALPSCO) $5. Not open so didn't
see the insides. Checked on the price of two games:
BEAT - THE - COMPUTER $14.95, GREAT DOWNHILL SKI RACE - $5.00.
To Pierce Promotions. Told Jack Davis about the "Adult
Game Fair" at Brentano's. He made a number of copies of
the MONEYSWORTH with the games article, including
ACQUIRE and STOCKS AND BONDS.
Asked Jack if he had an extra copy of VENTURE. He didn't
have any but said he would order some.
SLEUTH will definitely be in the Jan '72 issue of ESQUIRE.
I will check with him towards the end of Dec. to find out where
else my games are featured.
Told Jack that EXECUTIVE DECISION and MR. PRESIDENT are in
F.A.O. Schwartz catalog.
To Random House and meeting with Fabia. He reproduced my
letter from Colin Haycraft of Gerald Duckworth and had it
sent to contract dept., together with a note saying that
it is his understanding the Random House has lost their
rights to British publication of AGOG. He will contact me
as soon as he hears anything so that I can write to
Colin Haycraft.
We discussed the sale of AGOG and I said that I wasn't
angry at Random House. He said I should be.
Talked about my doing a book on children's games. Now he
specifies 8 to 10 years old. Told him I'd think about it and
then, after the New Year, contact him with definite proposals.
At Brentano's didn't find Dorothy Shapiro there, but left
copies of S & T #26 and #28, together with a note asking
her to contact me if she wants more.
To Sign of the Dove for the cocktail party for THE GODFATHER GAME.
Spoke to Dick and Marge Rosen and also to Kirby Upjohn who
is sort of an office manager. She said that a copy of the
game was already on the way to me, but to take another
so that I would be able to have it for my BOOK WORLD
piece. (I piut aside a wrapped one, but someone swiped
(cont. on 11/8)
