13 WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 1972
348th Day - 18 days to come

Rcd. the rules and the extra pcs. - 16 special octons and 16 "black" pegs - for playing CRESCENDO. One of the blue octons had the stem broken. Took blue peg from the material left over from the Xerox exhibit and put it in one of the holes. It should take care of it.

Rcd. THE GAMESLETTER #45 (#44, Don said, will not come before the next couple of issues). Had reviews of THE SOMA ADDICT and THE WFF 'N PROOF NEWSLETTER.

Eve Auchincloss finally called me. Apologized for being too busy to call before. Told her about the change in the list price of STRATO TAC-TICS. She is going to Washington tomorrow. She'll see that a correction is printed. She'll also pick up a copy or two of the BOOK WORLD issue with my review.

Rcd. two packages from Simulations (sent by Phil) with the following games: - THE MARNE, LA GRAND ARMEE, BARBAROSSA, LEIPZIG, 1812, NORMANDY. (Thought there were parts missing from the last two. But later found out that they were not separate charts.)

(cont. from 12/14) [12/14]
Jed Gaines came in and thanged me for the review of MYWORD! in BOOK WORLD. Someone had sent him a clipping from Washington.
Phil showed me an article "The Game Game"from Dec. 9, 1972 issue of SATURDAY REVIEW. Made a copy.
Also copied the rules for CASTELLO which they bought. (See 8/21 for the board.)

Rcd. 2 copies of the 12/3/72 BOOK WORLD with my article.
Rcd. Dec. PLAYTHINGS. There is mention of M.B.'s acquisition of E.S. Lowe.
Parker ad shows a new card game - WATERWORKS
Small article about Education Ventures Inc. (EVI) and two of Their games - PINK PEBBLES and GENERATION RAP.
Showcase also shows ON-WORDS, PIVOT POOL, and KISMET.

Bought a 1973 game diary - $2.25.

Phil is interested in TRIC TRAC to include in their BACKGAMMON set. If they use it I'll be paid for translating it from French.
Phil will contact me about getting together in the middle of January to play more REALM and discuss the other project. In the meantime he'll send me the latest rules for all the REALM versions so that I can possible play with others.
