To <u>Mike Alber</u>. Gave him ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''. He showed me the clipping from  <br>
the ''<u>SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER</u>''.
the ''<u>SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER</u>''. Not only did it misspell my name  <br>
but it left out the mention of <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> and <u>SLEUTH</u>,  <br>
only mentioning <u>''AGOG''</u>.  <br>
He gave me copies of <u>LANDSLIDE</u> and <u>TINY TIM GAME</u>. The latter  <br>
had bombed horribly. He had only two copies left and insisted that  <br>
I should have one as a collector's item.  <br>
Both of the games were done by <u>Marvin Glass</u>, and he is  <br>
pretty sure that <u>DEALER'S CHOICE</u> (about used cars) is also M.G.  <br>
They keep taking M.G. things because they sell well. Last year  <br>
<u>MASTERPIECE</u> did better than any board game in history (I believe)  <br>
than <u>MONOPOLY</u>.  <br>
While I was there he rcd. a telephone call from someone who was  <br>
preparing a radio program on games. The fellow was interested in  <br>
modern topics. Mike will send him <u>CAREERS</u>, which is updated  <br>
with new careers in Ecology etc.; also <u>MONOPOLY</u>. Mike was  <br>
mentioning Urban Systems Games but didn't include <u>ECOLOGY</u>.  <br>
I mentioned it and Mike told the fellow that "one of the  <br>
countrie's leading experts on games was in the office" and put me on.  <br>
I told him about Urban Systems, also the group interaction  <br>
type. Told him about war games and said that I liked <u>RISK</u>  <br>
better. He asked for a copy. Told him about 3M games and  <br>
Pierce Promotions to get a copy of <u>ACQUIRE</u>.  <br>
His name is <u>Daniel Mack</u> and he is on WRVR. He took  <br>
my number and  he'll call. Maybe he'll have me on the program.
 
Before going to <u>Mickey Mackey</u>'s stopped at Random House.  <br>
Neither Fay nor <u>Fabio</u> were in. Went to Miriam Norton but she said  <br>
