to 20%. I told her that the latter certainly won't be necessary, but <br> | |||
she insisted that she wanted to get something from it. <br> | |||
Hallmark is looking at <u>KING SOLOMON'S DIVERSION</u> (the puzzle <br> | |||
called <u>TACTICS</u> - see 8/25) but nothing else since they are <br> | |||
too busy with packaging their line etc. I brought up <u>FOCUS</u> <br> | |||
and she'll check on it. <br> | |||
She managed to get Hallmark to give her $25 more a month. <br> | |||
<u>Alan Turoff</u> has come up with an "Auto Chess" gadget <br> | |||
which Dynamic Design is very interested in. She set a time <br> | |||
limit and they sent it back not having finished the costing. <br> | |||
She'll now have to send it back. <br> | |||
When Turoff first came to her he had a word <u>GAME</u> which <br> | |||
she refused to even look at - no one wants word games. It had <br> | |||
been refused by Parker but personal [personnel] there were playing it <br> | |||
and liked it so much that they contacted him and will publish it. | |||
While looking for <u>Gary Sherbell</u>'s old model she decided to clear <br> | |||
out some material. I took the model of <u>DOMINIQUE</u> (I <br> | |||
have another set with the name <u>COPADE</u>). Hallmark had been <br> | |||
interested in it, but she couldn't locate the inventor. <br> | |||
Also took her material on <u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u>. She is giving up on <br> | |||
it. When she interests a company in it they check and find <br> | |||
out that wholesalers and jobbers are loaded with the Funtastic <br> | |||
edition. Some of it <u>Chuck Titus</u> I am sure will want. I'll <br> | |||
write to him and send it to him. | |||
To Skunk Works. Spoke to <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>. He told me of his visit <br> | |||
from <u>Graeme</u>. Actually they got together in England and agreed <br> | |||
to exchange ads. Jim was sorry that he was busy when Graeme <br> | |||
came and didn't have much time for him. (<u>''GAMES & PUZZLES''</u>.) <br> | |||
Jim is still interested in a general games magazine, but <br> | |||
not for at least another year until <u>''S & T''</u> is built up <br> | |||
more. Circulation is now about 18,000. (''G & P'' incidentally <br> | |||
sells about 21,000 so far.) They are short of cash for <br> | |||
advertising as much as they would like to build up the <br> | |||
circulation. <br> | |||
