8 MONDAY - MAY 1972
129TH DAY - 237 DAYS TO COME

Bought two more plastic stack trays at O'Briens
on 23rd St. for $1.79 each.

To R.G.I. and meeting with Bob Gellman. Went over the
slides for HOLIDAY the final time.
There was a carbon of a letter to me from Bob Schneider
offering me 2 1/2% royalties and $500 advance for
working on SCOTLAND YARD. I mentioned to Gellman that
Schneider had originally said 3%. Gellman will talk to him about it.

To Joad Silbert's. Went over ideas for the art work on the
cards, but she didn't have the board there. Bob will
probably have it in his office Wednesday afternoon and
I'll drop in there to look at it, but I'll check with him first.

Looking at book stores below 14th St. Bought Nov. '71
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN in Sylvan. At Strand looked at
FAMILY GAMES AMERICA PLAYS by Walter Gibson (Doubleday '70).
Contained standard board, card, domino, etc. games. Also
PARCHEESI, etc. RACK-O was included and a variation called
BONUS RACK-O. If a player completes he scores 50 points bonus
for three cards in numerical order (i.e. - 29, 30, 31); 100
points for 4; 200 points for 5; 400 points for 6 or more. only
the highest scoring sequence is scored. The game can be
played to the usual 500 points, or to 1000.
