FRIDAY 8 JANUARY 1971 8th day - 357 days to come

Fabio called. Told him of the letter from Walter Coffey (see 1/6). He doesn't think that a book of reviews is right for them.

(cont. from 1/10) [3/3]

Pat Madden Director, Market Planning } Subsiduary of Mattel Standard Plastic Products, Inc. 450 Oak Tree Ave. South Plainfield, New Jersey 07080

Called Claude. Told him about Toy Fair. He is still working on his magnetic PUZZLE.

Dick Rosen said that he had bought the boxes saying WOMEN'S LIB from Gini Scott. I said that that was very nice of him and he said "Well yes, and it was cheaper than a lawsuit." (cont. on 1/9)

(cont. from 3/6) [3/4]

throwing the die and placing a marker in a space of the color thrown. As soon as a player wins one small layout by getting three in a row the die is no longer used and a player can choose his space. In case no one gets 3 in a row in a small layout the most markers win. There is some kind of a NIM gadget but Tom and Joyce weren't sure about it. (Tom will send me rules.) Looked at the following puzzles by Stewart T. Coffin - THE 7 WOODS, THE STAR PUZZLE, SLIDER SPIDER. Also took the rules of his SNOWFLAKE. He is the inventor of HECTIX. 30,000 of these were sold. More could have been, but that is all they made. LOGI-QUAD came up and (I believe) I told Tom I would send him the rules. Discussed my games with Stancraft and my upcoming meeting with Mary Hilt. Decided on the following. AIRLINE - sign contract even without an advance, since it is not the kind of games most companies are doing. [crossed out] - Sign contract only if I get an advance. Tom would like to show it to Parker. I worried about Felicia and then decided that the only way to handle things, except 3M and Hallmark which are Felicia's, is on a game by game basis. Whoever handles that game will get the royalty - TRANSFORMATION. SPELLBINDER - told Tom about it since Felicia gave it back saying she couldn't sell a word game. I'll show it to Mary when she comes over. (cont. on 1/3)
