MONDAY 8 FEBRUARY 1971
39th day - 326 days to come
Called the Parker office to ask for a glossy of CROWN RED. The
secretary told me that it has been dropped. She also gave
me the name and telephone number for [bracket] Parker Publicity
Mike Alber
TE 8-8300
Called S&R and asked for a glossy of OPINION. She'll send it
today. Looked at the rules.
Rcd. a glossy of LAWSUIT, also some P.R. materials and
a letter saying that he was putting out 3 new games by
the middle of the year and will send me copies of the
GAMEs.
Rcd. the [crossout] report for AGOG (ending 9/30/70). Due to returns
I am $138.26 in the hole.
Rcd. some material from S&T. A long letter from
Stephen M. Beckett who says, among a lot of other
things, that he likes my column and loves ACQUIRE.
A letter, addressed to me, from William C. Williams saying
that he liked AGOG and ABBOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES. He would
like to see a new magazine devoted to off beat games and
sent an excellent outline of what its contents should be.
A complete description of a game by J. Peter Le Brooy, called
RAID. He sent it in 1969, asking if S&T would like to
acquire rights to the game.
A listing of the publication dates of upcoming S&Ts,
S&T SUPPLEMENTS, and a new one to me, GAME DESIGN.
Wrote to Albert Richter, who sent me a letter about his
games QUADRUME and DELL and is interested in an agent.
Wrote to Daniel Rabin who wrote about SLAM. [arrows pointing left and to sentence above.] (COMBINATION too)
Wrote to John Champlin telling him I couldn't possibly find
time to write for INTERPLANITARY COMMUNICATOR for the
present.
The "press card" did not come with the other material
from S&T.
Felicia called. She called Bob Edwards at X. His call was about
something other than my games. She did ask about
WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? and he thinks it was stolen from
the shipping room. They will check further and if they can't
find it they will reimburse me.
They will not be at the Toy Fair, but will be at Stationery Show,
and Felicia thinks they may be announcing then.
They want to see Claude's DUEL and ECLIPSE. She sent
the models by parcel post and wanted to contact Claude to have
him send her the rules. I told him I'd tell him, and did.
