+Called ''<u>S & T</u>'' to see if I could change the price on <u>STRATO TAC-TICS</u> and
 <u>STRATO CHECKERS</u>. Kevin said it was already printed.
+Since I was going out I called <u>Martin Gardner</u>. The specific ques-
+tion he called about yesterday concerned the correct name of the
+book <u>''THE GUIDE TO SIMULATION GAMES FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING''</u>. In
+the periodical <u>''SIMULATION/GAMING/NEWS''</u> there was an ad for the
+second edition and it was given as "The Guide to Simulations--."
+I checked my copy to confirm the singular. He will mention the
+first edition in his January column.
+Incidentally the 2nd edition has been expanded to about 500
+pages. It now sells for about $13. After publication it will
+be $15. Martin is not buying it.
+Martin had some material he was going to mail to me. Since I
+was going to White Plains I arranged to stop on the way back
+and pick it up.
+He gave me a copy of a game <u>SYMMETRY</u> sent to him by its inventor,
+<u>IAN P. HOWARD</u>. (Placed game in <u>HI-BALL</u> box and letter from the
+professor in Martin Gardner folder.)
+Gave me an article on "Parker Brothers" entitled "Do Not Pass Go"
+that someone sent him - <u>''YANKEE''</u> Magazine. (Filed in M.G. Folder.)
+On one of the pages there was an ad for a book by Emerson Books - <u>THE MATH ENTERTAINER</u>.
+An illustration shows most of the board of an old game
+<u>A GAME OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR</u>.
+Gave me a copy of <u>Piet Hein</u>'s <u>NIMBI</u> (put out by Hubly Division
+of Gabriel Industries).
+Martin had the others of the set. I saw them at Brentano's
+except for <u>ANAGOG</u> which appears to be identical with mag-
+Nif's <u>TUT'S TOMB</u>.
+Martin gave me the copy of <u>''SIMULATION/GAMING/NEWS''</u> (with 1/2 page
+where the book ad was missing). Among other things there
+is a complete game - <u>GRASSLANDS</u> and an ad for <u>Gini Scott</u>'s
+<u>AMERICAN GAMES ASSOCIATION</u>.
+<u>Frank Armbruster</u> will be handling subscriptions for S/G/G.
+Martin rcd. (received) page proofs of the booklet for <u>THE TOWER GAME</u>
+from <u>Frank Armbruster</u>.
