Read over the rules of <u>DUPINOCHLE</u> and <u>HEX-A-BOARD</u> on the subway  <br>
Also some more of Abt's <u>SERIOUS GAMES</u>.
Called <u>Diane Jaust</u>. She said she didn't get my message of  <br>
yesterday. She thinks it would be great to have <u>AGOG</u> at  <br>
the exhibit. We decided that I'll get a copy to <u>Jane Jordan</u>  <br>
and she'll have a replacement sent to me.  <br>
She never heard of the Executive Book Club.
When I didn't hear from <u>Jack Davis</u> I called him. He got  <br>
together with Jane today. The one at 3M who answered  <br>
Jane's letter was not someone I knew, tho he wouldn't  <br>
mention the name. Jane will probably use only my games  <br>
or possibly a few more. He'll send her all of them anyway.  <br>
They may have trouble getting the Gamettes since they are in  <br>
short supply. I told him that <u>Felicia</u> had copies of <u>MONAD</u>,  <br>
<u>VENTURE</u> and <u>HIGH BID</u>.  <br>
Jack said he checked with <u>Audrey</u> and it would be O.K. for me  <br>
to demonstrate. He didn't say anything about 3M paying me  <br>
for my time.  <br>
Jack gave Jane a copy of <u>AGOG</u>.
Called <u>Jane Jordan</u>. She read a little of <u>AGOG</u> and is  <br>
impressed with it.  <br>
We arranged for me to demonstrate from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4.  <br>
The manufacturer's exhibits will not be permanent. Instead  <br>
they'll be changed (weekly, I guess). Although there are  <br>
guards she expects pilferage of the game components.  <br>
I'll call her in the middle of next week to arrange a meeting  <br>
when I'll bring her my resume and we'll discuss  <br>
the press conference.
<u>Jim Dunnigan</u> here for supper. Brought me: 5 copies  <br>
of <u>S & T</u> - issue #21. 3 copies of his new brochure. Staff  <br>
Newsletter No. 3. A new G.A.G.E form for evaluating war  <br>
games. The results of the feedback on issue #21  <br>
so far. (<u>CHICAGO-CHICAGO</u>)is last. My column is next to last.)  <br>
For $70 Jim rented a 2000 name "sample" from a list of  <br>
158,000 people who bought The American Heritage World War 2  <br>
Book. (abt. $10) by mail order. He sent brochures to them  <br>
and if the returns are 5% or better he'll send to the entire list.
Also available are a 400,000 list of ''Psychology Today''  <br>
subscribers; 270,000 list of ''Saturday Review'' subscribers;  <br>
280,000 combined list of buyers of history books by mail.  <br>
Jim would like to know what list <u>GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.Y,)</u>  <br>
\used. (Was it A.H.?)  <br>
A.H. is definitely doing <u>PANZER BLITZ</u> as a regular game in  <br>
their series. This is a development of the Test Series.  <br>
<u>TACTICAL GAME 3</u>. They are also interested still in  <br>
