50th day - 315 days to come
Went over my S&T supply to see which ones to pick up at the
Skunk Works tonight.
[Sentence crossed out]
At S&R got the list price of OPINION - $4.00. Looked
at RPM for a moment. Showed letters on turntables that
rotated in 3 (I believe) rings. Didn't get any details.
Stopped at G&R for a moment, but they were very busy
preparing for Toy Fair. Told them I'd go to see them after
Toy Fair.
To Carl Eisenberg to pick up MANHATTAN MADNESS. I was
early & he was in conference. I'll call him Monday to get his
findings on the problems of doing the manufacturing.
Met Phil Orbanes in lobby. Showed him MANHATTAN MADNESS
& told him I'd contact Bob Hallowell next week, about bringing
it for him to see.
Outside of the barbershop on 18th St. saw some decorator samples thrown
out by a city planner. Took some wall finishing samples (put in
equipment large holder).
At Arcadia bought a book, THE GAME OF CONTACT, not a game but a
gag on Contract BRIDGE. Paid 45¢.
They had a somewhat wrinkled copy of AGOG for $4.50 and
he was willing to reduce it to $4.00.
Looked at Strand Bookstore & Brentano's. Letter had HI-SPOT for $3
but I was too loaded to buy it.
Met Claude at Tad's. He got me 6 - 5"x5" pcs. of plexiglass
for $1.75 on Canal St. Also a catalog from the store, of various
plastic items. A piece about 6"x6" was left over after the cutting
and Claude asked the price. The owner threw it in. Need 3
pcs. for PLANES.
To skunk works with Claude and the 20 yr. old son of a friend,
Bob.
Gave Jim my column for S&T #26 and got a Press Card

Toy Fair:- 19 (2 of ), 20 (1 of ), 23 (2 of ), 24 (2 of ), Claude took a
copy of #22.

1 folded up sheet) called GAME DESIGN. It had mentions of the
following games from & for S&T, A.H., and Test Series
