Also took her material on <u>PSYCHE-PATHS</u>. She is giving up on <br> | |||

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> | |||
