Michael took Laycok's address and will write to him. | |||
He doesn't mind if I tell Laycock about <u>LUCKY</u>, etc.<br> | |||
Went thru "Jessel's" <u>A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS IN ENGLISH ON | |||
PLAYING CARDS AND GAMING</u>. Prepared a list but will check it | |||
tomorrow.<br> | |||
Showed <u>LE LIVRE DES JEUX</u> to Michael. He will buy a copy, and he | |||
took <u>Pierre Berloquin</u>'s address to write to him.<br> | |||
Michael told me that when he went to the "Cincinnati Art | |||
Museum" he was very well treated. They had sold him photo- | |||
copies by mail before.<br> | |||
The curator there gave Michael's address to <u>Stuart | |||
Kaplan</u>, who contacted Michael. Kaplan was interested in | |||
publishing Michael's book on old games, if he could | |||
have it ready for the X'Mas season next year. Michael | |||
was not favorably impressed and didn't want any part | |||
of it. Kaplan said he'd write a book himself - as Michael | |||
observed, using a few books and a lot of imagination. | |||
Rcd. <u>''NOST-ALGIA''</u>, Dec. 1970 (#128). Nothing of particular | |||
interest to me. | |||
Rcd. a $5 check from ''<u>S&T</u>''. | |||
Earlier in the week <u>Felicia</u> had asked me whether I thought | |||
<u>Connor Barrett</u> should send her a model of <u>DICEY</u> | |||
or <u>TRICKY TRAMPOLIN</u>. Looked at the rules again and it | |||
seems interest, tho expensive. Maybe the smaller | |||
version would not be prohibitive. Called Felicia to tell her | |||
this.<br> | |||
She said that someone's lawyer (can't remember who) doesn't | |||
like the "hold harmless" clause in the X contract. Neither do | |||
I. She said she'd try, but she doesn't think they will change it. | |||
Also her lawyer looked at it and found nothing wrong with it. | |||
She thinks, however, it is time to start getting a little | |||
tougher with X. | |||
