BB mailed INTERPLAY to Jed Gaines ($1.20) and the 
AIRLINE rules to Felicia. 
Rcd. Sept. ''TOYS''. THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKILL GAME is shown
in "New Products." 
Rcd. 8 SLEUTH solutions, 1 incorrect. 1 told me that he
liked ACQUIRE. 
Later rcd. a special delivery from S.K. Howard with a
SLEUTH solution and also mentions of his GO variation. 
Recently he bought MR. PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE DECISIONS, EVADE,
and SPEED CIRCUIT. he "sniffed" at SLEUTH but will buy it
now.
Rcd. a post card from Phil Cohen. He has copies of three
booklets by Vern R. Parton: 
1) ''CHALLENGE AND DELIGHT OF CHESSICAL & DECIMAL''. (He can loan it to me.) 
2) ''CHESSICAL CUBISM OR CHESS IN SPACE''. (He can get me Xeroxes of this.) 
3) ''CHESSHIRE CAT PLAYETH LOOKING-GLASS CHEESSYS''. (He can get me Xeroxes of this.) 
Rcd. a letter from Jim Kraus. They suggest that in
PROFI a player be allowd to have as many as he wishes
of stock cards, instead of being limited to 6. he also
mentioned BAZAAR, WILD WOOD PILE, PLANES, SLEUTH, EVADe. 
Rcd. a long distance call from Jim Krause about PROFIT. 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. 
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. 
I spoke about PLANES. In his letter he said tit was too expensive
for Gamette and that I was right in suggesting it for 
Bookshelf. But that is Keith'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 Felicia and told her about Jim's call and about his 
comments on WILD WOOD PILE. 
Pat Duncan called off their date to see X-CHANGE-WORD today.
She sounded genuinely sorry. 
Felicia has been hearing conflicting reports about The Puzzle
Factory - some saying it was doing great, and others that it
