Jack has the Bookshelf games
Jack has the Bookshelf games, except <u>ACQUIRE</u>. They have  <br>
been looking in the stores but it is sold out. I told him I had one,  <br>
but it has been used a little. He'll call tomorrow and may use  <br>
it if they can't locate another.  <br>
I asked him to replenish mu supplies of my games when he  <br>
has some on hand.
 
Called <u>Fabio</u>. Asked him about the <s><u>EXECUTIVE BOOK CLUB</u></s> "Executive Book Club". He checked  <br>
and called me back. It is a branch of the "Science Book Club".  <br>
They took 2000 copies. He said that the sales, due to returns,  <br>
were down to 6,851. (Does this include the book clubs?) He  <br>
said that he'd try to keep <u>AGOG</u> on their list and get it more  <br>
publicity this fall, but there are always new books coming out.  <br>
They have looked for a paperback publisher, so far without success.
 
When I told him I had contracts for two puzzles he said  <br>
he would love to have a book of puzzles for 8 to 10 year  <br>
olds. Told him I'd think about it.  <br>
While doing a little thinking thought that <u>BAZAAR</u>  <br>
could be worked into a series of puzzles.
 
I called <u>Felicia</u> and she called back. Quite depressed about business.  <br>
Rappaport's is calling off their annual Regatta in Central Park,  <br>
probably due to bad business.  <br>
Read her the letter on <u>SEAVECN</u>[?] from <u>Jim Kraus</u>. She  <br>
thinks we should fight. Made repro to bring to her.  <br>
The inventor of <u>INDIAN CHESS</u> said i should write the  <br>
rules, for 25% of his royalties. I'll try to do them next weekend.
 
I'll go there Friday to bring <u>TANGLED WEB</u> and to pick up  <br>
<u>INDIAN CHESS</u> and <u>LIVE WIRE</u>.  <br>
Talked about "Hallmark" Exhibit and she said she'd push 3M  <br>
to pay me to demonstrate. I'd just as soon they didn't, so she  <br>
won't work on it.
