Drove to
Drove to Mt. Cisco to see <u>Bob Hallowell</u>. Showed him the diagrams  <br>
for <u>AIR BATTLE</u>, <u>DRILL FOR OIL</u>, <u>XANDO</u>, <u>COLD WAR</u>, <u>CONNECTIONS</u>,  <br>
and <u>SUBSIDUARIES</u>. And explained the play. He thought they had  <br>
a lot of play value.  <br>
He asked when I could have the instructions and I told him  <br>
how busy I was and that the middle of February was the  <br>
earliest possible.  <br>
When we went to the Chinese restaurant we stopped at a  <br>
copy shop to have five of each reproduced. I told him to  <br>
keep them since I was going to the place in the Bronx on my  <br>
way home.  <br>
The check for <u>NINE OF SWORDS</u> (abt. $832) was sent out about  <br>
a week ago. Bob thought that he had sold about 10,000 copies, but  <br>
the royalties don't agree with this. He'll check. He originally  <br>
made about 16,000 and will sell the rest, but won't make any more.  <br>
Took two swords to replace the ones that came broken.  <br>
<u>Bob Reiss</u>' original reaction to <u>FUN CITY</u> was good. But when he  <br>
showed the model to some buyers at a show in Chicago  <br>
their reaction was that it wasn't worth $6.00. <u>Bob Hallowell</u>  <br>
thinks that it may have been due to the poor quality of the  <br>
model. He'll probably invest another $400 in another model  <br>
and try again. If it doesn't work out he'll give me the model.  <br>
Gametime will be going public in the next few weeks. With the  <br>
new money he should have plenty of financing for at least the  <br>
next two years. // Told Bob about <u>THE 19TH HEX</u> and he is  <br>
interested in doing it very inexpensively. <br>
To Copy Shop. Machine only making single copies. Got  <br>
five of each of the 3 p. & p. sheets.
 
<u>Felicia</u> called while I was out. Called her and she had seen  <br>
<u>Bob Gellman</u>. She told him that she had heard he was not paying  <br>
<u>Ken Morgan</u> for <u>MOVIE MOGULS</u>. He said they were in sound  <br>
financial condition and offered to let her look at the books. The  <br>
trouble with Ken Morgan is that they are paying an exorbitant  <br>
royalty.  <br>
I asked if she had mentioned that he doesn't have the latest  <br>
layout for <u>JET HOLIDAY</u>. She had forgotten and suggested  <br>
that I call him.  <br>
He told her that a contract for <u>JET HOLIDAY</u> and a letter  <br>
acknowledging receipt of <u>HIGH FINANCE</u> and <u>GIRL TALK</u> were  <br>
on their way to her.
