Called Felicia and she called me back. Told her that AIRLINE would be returned by Gellman. Later in day when she complained about being loaded up with unsalable material I offered to take it back but she said she always wants to try with my things and wants them on hand. Told her that Gellman wanted GO SEE and she knew since he had spoken to her yesterday. She tried Impact but they didn't have it. I checked my records and she was supposed to have it. I found it on an inactive shelf. I told that I had told Gellman about the pa her remarks on the poor quality of MOVIE STARS. She didn't mind. Angelo Longo of S&R is sending her the inventor of RPM who has some other games. S&R may be looking at games after Toy Fair. She is happy that S&. has promised to upgrade the quality of BALI and spend more on promotion. They will saturate an area to see the results.

She called back with:- Castle Book - Division of Book Sales Inc. 352 Park Ave. S. New York (679-9191) Laurence Alexander Called in the afternoon. Alexander wasn't back from lunch. Supposed to call me, but didnt.
