3M is also considering Alex' <u>TIDDELY GOLF</u>. <br> | |||
<u>TWIXT</u> dropped off about 6% last year, the first time | |||
that it ever dropped. I told him that <u>ACQUIRE</u> also dropped | |||
about 6%. <u>FACTS IN FIVE</u> had a little increase. <br> | |||
Tom is negotiating with Hallmark for <u>Golomb</u>'s | |||
<u>PENTOMINOS</u>, to be done in a manner similar to <u>SOMA</u>. | |||
Tom said that 3M is close to dropping their price fixing. | |||
It served a purpose in introducing their line. Now they | |||
want to go for the mass market. <br> | |||
We didn't even get to the matter of Stancraft and their | |||
miserable performance. <br> | |||
Met <u>Jerry Green</u> and <u>Pat Duncan</u> of "The Puzzle Factory". They are | |||
dropping <u>THE DICTIONARY GAME</u> and are steering clear of | |||
games. They reduced the price from $10 to $8 but still couldn't | |||
sell. If they ever go into games again they will go to Felicia | |||
first. <br> | |||
Jerry said that he saw something in a window at 200 | |||
5th that looked like <u>FREE FORM</u>. (Probably one of the | |||
Pentominoes Puzzles.) <br> | |||
Met <u>Gini Scott</u>. Because of BB's being tired from Dale's wedding | |||
begged off from an invite this week. Will invite her during | |||
Stationery Show. She said thet she had been placing things. | |||
Didn't go into details. | |||
