3 THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 1972
34TH DAY - 332 DAYS TO come

To Jack Davis. Picked up FEUDAL (plus a gloss of it) for Don Miller.
Ran me a repro [reproduction] of an article from THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR (Nov. 25, 1971) which mentioned MR. PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE DECISION, MASTERPIECE, CAREERS, and two other things.
Dan Mack of WRVR wanted 4 games, ACQUIRE, EXECUTIVE DECISION, TWIXT, and MR. PRESIDENT, but the station is out of their delivery zone. I took the games and a letter to Mack. Jack called, but Mack wasn't in. He'll call later this afternoon and Jack will tell him I have the games. Jack will call me tomorrow morning with Mack's directions.
Got the MR. PRESIDENT Glossy.

To Skunk Works. Gave Red my column for S & T number 31 and the Glossy for MR. PRESIDENT.
Got NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO (Advanced Game Expansion Kit), 4 copies of #30, 1 of #29, and 2 of #27.
Showed the flyer on GAMES & PUZZLES to Jim, Red, John Young, and Al Nofi. Ran off repros for them. (Also ran repros of "Capital Gains" Material and 3M statements for myself.)
Told them that I would subscribe to GAMES & PUZZLES.
Al Nofi told me that they were subscribing to a Magazine SIMULATION & GAMES, which is for educators, etc. It is put out by {SAGE Publications 275 South Beverly Drive Beverly Hills, California 90212.
They saw the ad in a book published by SAGE, which I borrowed - SIMULATION GAMES IN LEARNING.
Jim took me to see their new offices at 44 E. 23rd. Could only look in since tiles were being layed. Much larger.
On way stopped to look at Metropolitan Book Store. Jim had seen copies of AGOG there. It is the Castle Book edition. The binding is not as good, but not terrible. The jacket is the same except listed as $6.95, and they had them marked down to $2.25.
Asked about a new Press Card. They are supposed to be printed up in the next few weeks. If they are not ready in time for Toy Fair, they'll give me a letter.
Al Nofi gave me a letter from a reader asking me to review: SPACEVENTURE, FEUDAL, ORION, CHÉ, BOUNDARY & REINCARNATION.

To Bob Gellman. Gave him the rules and other material for HOLIDAY. We went over the rules and made a few changes. He told me that HOLIDAY is the most expensive game that they have ever put out. I should really sell for $7, not $6. But he is willing to take less profit since he believes it will carry other games with it.
We went over his "blurb" for HOLIDAY and made it agree with the actual cards. Also took out "educational", (the Kiss of death - I said).
