15 TUESDAY - AUGUST 1972
ASSUMPTION OF THE B.V. MARY - 138 DAYS TO COME
To A.H. Met Marvin Channing and then Tom Shaw came.
Met Eric Dolt (spelling?) for a few minutes.
Showed Tom ONE AT A TIME BY THE MILLIONS. Discussed the
cheapest ways of having it produced. I suggest squares
of color on the board and cards so that different
colors could be produced by combining a few colors,
while the printing is all in black. They will prepare
an estimate - based on from 1,000 to 5,000 copies
and send the model back to me in about a week.
Gave the Xerox picture with me, ORIGINS OF WORLD WAR II,
and GETTYSBURG to Tom Shaw.
The subject of Roger Verhulst's column in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE
came up. Tom Shaw is the one who told Verhulst about
me. He, Tom, has a set of the columns and I
asked him to run off repros for me. He said he would.
BB to Felicia's to pick up the contracts for ANOTHER, DIGIT, FITTING & PROPER, PE-LING, SIT DOWN & THINK, & SEARCH.
She told Felicia of my trip to Baltimore for WOMAN'S DAY.
Felicia said that MB and Western also do games on
contract.
Incidentally, she said that $15 an hour was just about right
as a consulting fee.
BB also took the rules for SIJJEH. She said that the
model was very, very fancy.
Rcd. the copy of AGOG back from LIFESTYLE magazine. No message.
Rcd. August PLAYTHINGS. Had article on Hank Simmons. Mentions
Schisgall Enterprises' THE MOB. They also have a
PRIME-TIME FOOTBALL. Showcase has DOG, CAT & MOUSE,
FLIGHT CAPTAIN, COMPUTER GAMES (Honeywell-Bull),
STRATO TAC-TICS. Classified ads offer OCTAGON and
SPIN-GOLF.
Rcd. one contract with for TEMPO, INTERPLAY, and ODD OR EVEN
and also TRANSFORMATION which I didn't ask for from
Tom Atwater. Also a letter expressing surprise that I was
going for Capital Gains.
Rcd. letter from Omar DeWitt. A.H. returned his detective
game 221B. He wrote to 3M but Miss Brooks said
they were not accepting games from "Outside Sources".
He made a FOCUS board and finds there is more to it than
first meets the eye.
Gary Sherbell called. He has made changes in his game
TORTS - THE GAME OF LAWSUITS, mainly in the direction of
allowing a lot more choice in starting suits. He wants me
to look at it before he approaches Felicia again. I finally
convinced him that he'd have to wait till after Labor Day
before I would have time to try it with him. He'll call after L.D.
