----
Called <u>Steve Salomon</u> at "Arrco." He said he had transmitted my
request for the <u>SKARNEY DICE</u> instruction book to <u>Skarney</u>,
He said he'd check but I told him that I didn't expect any
cooperation from Skarney himself.
Called Brian Blake and he called me back. Told him that I was
working at-home now and that I hope to be able to have him
and John here to try out a Harry Lorayne GAME.
Felicia called to say that she saw <s>Anne (?)</s> Dorothy Shapiro the
buyer at "Brentanos." The games are selling very well. The new
gamettes are being accepted. ACQUIRE shapes up as their
best seller of the "3M" games. Right now <s>Anne</s> Dorothy is mad because she
reordered it and it didn't come yet. I'll either try to tell
Dick Littlefield myself, or ask Jack Davis to do it.
Felicia said that she had a fabulous idea for publicizing
VENTURE and I should have Jack Davis call her.
She had good news from other retail stores as well.
Felicia bought the last copy of the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR with
my interview, but the president of "Brentanos" wanted it and
Felicia had to give it to him. She thinks she may be able to
get them to advertise a demonstration by me.
She said that Richard Rosen of "Urban Systems" had taken Anne
Shapiro out to lunch and thought it would be a good idea
for me to do the same. She will be on vacation for the next
two weeks.
Felicia thinks that the good showing in games should get X moving.
