WEDNESDAY 7 OCTOBER 1970
280th day - 85 days to come
Rcd. the 1971 "Childcraft" catalog. Contains, among other
things; ANIMO, CUBE FUSION, LOGI-QUAD, INTERCEPT,
MAYRING, TRIANGLE DOMINOES, TURN-TAC-TOE, NIMBLE NUMBERS,
TRAUMA TOWER, NITTY GRITTY.
Rcd. instructions for Herb Siegel for getting to his
house.
Stopped at "Gary & Reidel." Got rules and a glossy of
CARAPACE from the secretary. Promised to bring in
a copy of AGOG, either next week or right after my
operation.
With Claude and BB going thru the Thrift Shops on 3rd
and 2nd Ave. Bought the following:
STEP CHESS: The complete game.
POLARIS: Just the board and spinner. (see card file and
game diary 6/9/66).
THE WORLD'S GREATEST PUZZLES - a book by "Jerome Meyer."
A deck of playing cards with attractive picture of Paris
and environments.
Tried to get Felicia so as to sign the contracts for DIGIT
and PE-LING and to pick up the checks. Finally found that
she didn't come in at all due to a sprained arm. Called
her in the evening and will call tomorrow about coming there
tomorrow.
At the thrift shops also bought an extra copy of
CREDIBILITY GAP in case I need one for a gift or for
trading.
At "Rappaport's" got the price of MEM ($5) and SMOG ($10).
Saw TANGLED ANGLES which was called a puzzle-game on
the box but was actually only a puzzle. It consisted of
different shaped pcs. built up of equilateral triangles.
THere are 3 different shaped figures that can be built,
the largest being a hex using all the pieces.
Jim called while I was out and I called him back. The current
issue is behind time but Jim hopes to get the next one
out about a month later. However if my column is in a
little later than the end of October it wouldn't bother
him.
They prepared a form letter telling publishers about
their book review section and have been getting a flood
of books. They will give very short reviews of all books
rcd. and expand those they find more interesting. Jim suggested
doing the same with game reviews. He will send me a
copy of the form letter and I will make the necessary
changes. The feedback on COMBINATION indicates that
