To Brentano's. Was given a table near the door to demonstrate  <br>
<u>ACQUIRE</u>, <u>BAZAAR</u>, <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>, <u>MONAD</u>, & <u>SLEUTH</u>.  <br>
I asked <u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> about <u>VENTURE</u> and she said that  <br>
it did so poorly that they discontinued it. She said, however,  <br>
that <u>SLEUTH</u> was doing very well. Also <u>MONAD</u>, altho it is  <br>
not doing great, does have a [illegible crossed out] sready stream of requests.  <br>
<u>Henry Levy</u> mentioned that Parker has supplied old games for  <br>
the window and one of them was an earlu <u>WALL STREET</u>.  <br>
I looked at it in the window and then in the evening checked  <br>
in the Parker archives material. It was a Parker game [copyright]  1901.  <br>
<u>Bob Gellman</u> of Research Games came over to see me. He  <br>
said that he heard that I was the greatest. He asked  <br>
if I was exclusive with 3M. When I told him that I wasn't  <br>
he said he'd like to get together. Gave him my card and  <br>
he is at 200 5th Ave., room 962. But he isn't always there.  <br>
He said he likes games that are tied to something definite,  <br>
such as travel. Thought that <u>GO SEE</u> might be good, tho  <br>
I didn't mention it to him.  <br>
At end of session he said he sold 14 copies of  <br>
<u>MOVIE MOGULS</u>.  <br>
I didn't sell anything. In fact the only ones who spoke  <br>
to me were <u>Bob Gellman</u> and <u>David Rice</u>, a fan of my games. <br>
He wrote to me with a solution to the <u>SLEUTH</u> problem and  <br>
also mentioned <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>. I thought that he <s>had</s> was  <br>
the one who said that <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> was like  <br>
<u>MANAGEMENT II</u>. He wasn't; actually he said that he liked  <br>
my game much better.  <br>
He is a great fan of <u>AGOG</u> and prepared a package with cards,  <br>
two sets of dominos, graph paper, etc which he keeps together  <br>
with a copy of the book. He particularly likes <u>DOMINO BEAD GAME</u>,  <br>
<u>PROPERTY</u>, <u>LOA</u>, and <u>HAGGLE</u>, which he has played a few times.  <br>
He hasn't gotten to <u>FOCUS</u> yet. A friend of his is nuts about <u>POKE</u>.  <br>
He has all my 3M games. Told him about my suggestions  <br>
for a more skillful version of <u>BAZAAR</u>. He thought it might  <br>
be a good idea to playuntil 4 cards have been taken and  <br>
then start another round by turning another 4 cards.  <br>
<u>David</u> said that in general my games are the only ones  <br>
[illegible crossed out] which don't need doctoring of the rules before he can play  <br>
them.  <br>
Gave him my card & told him to call me to arrange for him to  <br>
visit me. This was after he mentioned a lot of old games,  <br>
all of which I have in my collection.  <br>
In a conversation with <u>Henry Levy</u> he mentioned that he'd  <br>
like to see a copy of''<u>S & T</u>'', with an idea of subscribing.  <br>
Told him I'd bring him one.
To Harvey & Carlson. <u>Mickey Mackay</u> in a conference.  <br>
Her secretary gave me copies of <u>SUMMIT</u>, <u>PSYCH-OUT</u>,  <br>
<u>WORD WISE</u>, and <u>GROUP</u>. (They all list for $8.)  <br>
