''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' folded. She is now working with the | ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' folded. She is now working with the <br> | ||
''<u>WASHINGTON POST</u>'''s own ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>'' and wondered if I'd like <br> | |||
to prepare a summer roundup of games. She sent me an <br> | |||
ad clipping for <u>OUTDOOR SURVIVAL</u> (which is the game <u>Jim Dunnigan</u> <br> | |||
did for Stackpole Books, thru A.H.) <br> | |||
I called <u>Eve</u> and later she called me back. She is not sure <br> | |||
if she will stay with the ''Washington Post'' but in the meantime <br> | |||
she wanted a piece on games. Told her I was very <br> | |||
busy now but that I would try to have it by the end of <br> | |||
July which was good with her. The ''Post'' still has syndication <br> | |||
with San Francisco, New Orleans, and possibly the <br> | |||
international ''Herald Tribune''. The fee will still be $200. | |||
Called <u>Mike Alber</u>. Out of town but <u>Ken Irsay</u> called me back later. <br> | |||
Asked for a "glossy" of <u>DEALER'S CHOICE</u> for ''<u>S & T</u>''. Also told him <br> | |||
about ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''. Asked for <u>ORION</u> for <u>Red Simonsen</u> and <br> | |||
<u>DEALER'S CHOICE</u> for the <u>Saperstein</u>'s. Sure. <br> | |||
As an afterthought called again and asked the secretary to have <br> | |||
him include the approximate price for <u>DEALER'S CHOICE</u>, and also <br> | |||
a "glossy" and price for <u>SQUARE OFF</u>. | |||
Called Publisher's Central Bureau about my order of 4/27 for <br> | |||
''<u>MATHEMATICAL DIVERSIONS</u>'' and ''<u>ILLUSTRATED GAMES OF PATIENCE</u>'' <br> | |||
The gal said it was probably lost and to send repro of <br> | |||
the canceled check and a list of the material and they would <br> | |||
send out another order. Later noticed that their date on <br> | |||
the check was May 16, the same as my second order of <br> | |||
5/9. (Will call again on Monday.) | |||
Called <u>Bernie Lane</u> and he said he was about to call me about on <br> | |||
display at Xerox. Told him that there were a number that I would <br> | |||
like but we decided that it would be easier for him to take them all <br> | |||
back and then I'd pick them up at their place. <br> | |||
Told Bernie that I rcd. the $700 but not the expense money. <br> | |||
He is calling <u>Rasor</u> today and will check on it. <br> | |||
Told him what <u>Mary McKee</u> told me about calling her collect if she <br> | |||
forgot to send me contact prints of my portion of the exhibit. <br> | |||
He said not to - that he'd talk to her about it. Also asked him <br> | |||
to have her send me another copy of the <u>COMPUTAMATIC FOOTBALL</u> <br> | |||
and <u>RSVP</u> large pictures. | |||
Called <u>Jack Davis</u> about the clippings from the Xerox exhibit. I'll <br> | |||
probably bring them to him to copy on 6/19, unless he needs <br> | |||
them sooner & calls me. | |||
