THURSDAY 22 JANUARY
1970 22nd day - 343 days to come
Prepared a letter which BB typed [crossed out] explaining my corrections
in the rules for TEMPO, INTERPLAY, and ODD OR EVEN.
Mailed to Jim Rockwell.
Sent letter to Bob Engel @ Whitman saying I had mailed
AGOG to him & Mary Hilt.
Felicia called to say that Jerry Dougherty had called her
and asked if she could get 16 complementary copies of
AGOG to use in his presentation to Enjay. She told him "no."
Jerry called me and asked if I could get them. I told him I
could get 40% off but I couldn't be sure how long it would
take. He said that knowing publishers he'd buy them at
bookstores. He also ordered 16 copies of the Nov. SCI. AM.
to be included in the presentation package.
I asked him about [crossed out] the travel games based
on GO SEE. He said they are going to make a presentation to
Braniff. If Braniff is interested then they will have me work
with them in finalizing the game. He doesn't think it is fair
to have me do too much work on speculation.
Felicia called again to change our date for next Wednesday
(which we made in her last call) to Tuesday. I'll bring her
MAVERICK COUNTRY and she'll take me to lunch. I told her of
Jerry's call and mentioned Sci. Am. She asked me to bring
my copy so that it could be duplicated on her machine. I am
worried about her reaction when she sees TEMPO,
INTERPLAY, and ODD OR EVEN mentioned.
Rcd. a call from { Amanda Thompson
Sensitivity Games Inc.
[address]
Boston, Mass. 02116
Her company heard of the games SENSITIVITY, ODD PIECES,
CALPURNIA, WORKING PARTNERS, MAKING MOVIES, OPTIONS UNLIMITED,
and ADULTERY advertised in "The N.Y. Review of Books" by
NAMO Inc. Tom Atwater advised them that I might have some
info.
Told her that I had sent for the games but hadn't
rcd. them yet. I'll drop a line when (and if) I get them.
She asked if I had a copy of their SENSITIVITY. I told
her that Tom had given me only the rules. She said she
would send me a copy.
Returned the card to GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.J.) saying
I didn't want QUADS. Also sent the ad rate sheet for S & T
and the advertising folder.
Gave copies of TAM-BIT & TAKE FIVE to Claude. Also showed them
to Richie at "Toy Town" on Northern Blvd.
Returned Claude's RECREATIONS IN THE THEORY OF NUMBERS. (Didn't read it.)
