To D.K.G. and met with Richard Schuster. He gave me a
copy of ECCENTRIC and asked me to call him my
opinion. Showed him a copy of S & T and my latest
BOOK WORLD column.

Met Marvin Katz who asked me some questions about
how I invent games and how I feel about being a
freelance inventor.
I loaned him Parker's 75 YEARS OF FUN and YESTERDAY'S GAME.
In looking thru the latter I saw a picture of Pacific's
SPACE CHESS. It has 3 large CHESS boards mounted on a central
post.)
Loaned him Willard Allphin's article on MONOPOLY which he
reproduced at his agent's, who I met, and returned to me.
Gave him a reprint of AGOG. He'll give me a copy of his book
when it comes out.
He mentioned several books he has been using for reference.
One is put out in paper back, but an expensive one -
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TOYS, GAMES, & DOLLS 1860 - 1930
(see 12/5/71) which he borrowed from a friend.
Another is TOYS IN AMERICA (see 7/9/63). The T.M.A. at 200
5th Ave. has a copy which they let him borrow over a
weekend.
He will keep a record of other books he uses and give
me a listing when he returns my books.

To Mike Alber. Not in, but picked up DEALER'S CHOICE and SQUARE OFF.

To Brentano's.
