BB mailed <u>INTERPLAY</u> to <u>Jed Gaines</u> ($1.20) and the
<u>AIRLINE</u> rules to <u>Felicia</u>. <br>
Rcd. Sept. <u>''TOYS''</u>.  <u>THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKILL GAME</u> is shown
in "New Products." <br>
Rcd. 8 <u>SLEUTH </u>solutions, 1 incorrect.  1 told me that he
liked <u>ACQUIRE</u>. <br>
Later rcd. a special delivery from <u>S.K. Howard</u> with a
<u>SLEUTH</u> solution and also mentions of his <u>GO</u> variation. <br>
Recently he bought <u>MR. PRESIDENT</u>, <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, <u>EVADE</u>,
and <u>SPEED CIRCUIT</u>. He "sniffed" at <u>SLEUTH</u> but will buy it
now. <br>
Rcd. a post card from <u>Phil Cohen</u>.  He has copies of three
booklets by <u>Vern R. Parton</u>: <br>
1) ''<u>CHALLENGE AND DELIGHT OF CHESSICAL & DECIMAL</u>''. (He can loan it to me.) <br>
2) ''<u>CHESSICAL CUBISM OR CHESS IN SPACE</u>''. (He can get me Xeroxes of this.) <br>
3) ''<u>CHESSHIRE CAT PLAYETH LOOKING-GLASS CHEESSYS</u>''. (He can get me Xeroxes of this.) <br>
Rcd. a letter from Jim Kraus.  They suggest that in
<u>PROFIT</u> a player be allowed to have as many as he wishes
of stock cards, instead of being limited to 6.  He also
mentioned <u>BAZAAR</u>, <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>, <u>PLANES</u>, <u>SLEUTH</u>, <u>EVADE</u>. <br>
Rcd. a long distance call from <u>Jim Krause</u> about <u>PROFIT</u>.  They feel that there
is too much advantage to dealing in "Blue Chip".  I felt
that this was because they don't restrict the number
of <s>cards</s> stock certificates a player can have before
him.  Jim agreed this might be the case. <br>
They  were thinking of possibly changing the number
of available shares in "Blue Chip" - lessening them.  The
deck has to be finalized by the middle of October.
We agreed that I would study the matter - probably bringing
a set with me to Europe.  He'll call me on 10/13 to discuss it again. <br>
I spoke about <u>PLANES</u>.  In his letter he said it was too expensive
for Gamette and that I was right in suggesting it for
Bookshelf.  But that is <u>Keith</u>'s area. He then said he'd most
likely return it to me.  In our conversation he said there might
be a possibility of having it in a packaging by itself.  In any case
he will not return it until we talk next week.


Called <u>Felicia</u> and told her about <u>Jim</u>'s call and about his
comments on <u>WILD WOOD PILE</u>. <br>
<u>Pat Duncan</u> called off their date to see <u>X-CHANGE-WORD</u> today.
She sounded genuinely sorry. <br>
Felicia has been hearing conflicting reports about The Puzzle
Factory - some saying it was doing great, and others that it <br>
