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.
<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 SYMMETRY sent to him by its inventor,
IAN P. HOWARD. (Placed game in HI-BALL 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 Emer-
son 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>ANALOG</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>.
Martin is writing a column on a series of puzzles concerned
