TUESDAY 5 JANUARY 1971

5th day - 360 days to come

Called John Letheren of "Publishers Marketing Group. Told him of my call of yesterday. They do not have any dis- tribution of EXTINCTION in the Washington area. So for they have sold mainly in colleges and some to high schools. Thanks to my article Brentanos in Chi- cago took 6 dozen.
The best way for Mr. Palins to get a copy is by send- ing $11.95 to Stamford, the location of the manufac- turer - Sinauer Associates.
Letheren mentioned that the game is put together in this country by the handicapped, which brings the price up.

At Wanamaker's in Cross County saw that they had 2 copies of AGOG. Also they didn't have too many of the 3M games left; only 1 ACQUIRE I believe.

At McHugh's bought CHESSERS for $2.84 and an extra copy of KIMBO for $1.50.

Rcd. a letter from [bracket] Judy Ann Bennett
300 South 8th
Poplar Bluff, MO. 63901
She saw the article on me in GRIT. She wants some ideas on hobbies and other ways of other solitary activities.

At McHugh's asked how the 3M Gamettes are moving. He told me that they are selling, but not nearly as good as the Bookshelf.
Saw 3RD DIMANSIONAL CHECKERS (Cardinal). A checker- board is provided with each ring raised in tiers.
Rules are given for regular CHECKERS. A variation where kings brought to the center two spaces are given a third checker. They can move laterally to the next red space. They can only capture, however, in a diagonal direction and can only capture kings or superkings. They can only be captured by a king or super king.
In another variation the pieces are set up as shown. All are kings. A piece in the venter is safe from capture. (Not sure of all the details of the two variations since the rules were not very clear.)

At Cross County bought 6 sheets of the light white cardboard.
