<u>Selma Shapiro</u>, <u>Diane Joust</u>'s boss at "Random House" called. <u>Diane</u>
will be back from vacation next Monday and Selma will
have her call me on Monday or Tuesday. Diane will get
me the copies of <u>AGOG</u> for the exhibition, also will
work out some kind of a flyer - possibly I'll go there to discuss it.

of <u>TAM-BIT</u> &amp; <u>TAKE FIVE</u>, and 1000 brochures for me to pick
up next Wednesday.<br>
The $2 games are not moving at all. <u>ULCERS</u>, <u>RAT RACE</u>,
and <u>BATTLE OF BRIAIN</u> are beginning to move a little.
I asked about <u>GAME OF THE MONTH CLUB (N.J.)</u>, and he said
that they had some interest in <u>BATTLE OF BRITAIN</u>.
Mailman left a notice that the "Hamley's" package was at
the P.O., with money due for postage and for duty.

fee, Called <u>Felicia</u> and arranged to go there tomorrow
to sign.
