has plugged 3 times, but can't find one. I told Roger about
Waldenbooks probably having it; also gave him the address
of "Book Sales; and failing that, I'll sell one to the reader.
He has gotten a number of letters on <u>AGOG</u>, which is good
since it shows that the column is being read. Most of his
letters are from readers who can't locate a reviewed game.
<br>He rcd. [received] word from <u>Zeke Rose</u> of Ideal, and thanked me for telling
Zeke about him. Surprisingly, the only company that sends
him games without his having to ask is Parker [Parker Brothers]. Others, like
3M, he gets when he asks. And some, particularly M.B. [Milton Bradley]
are not cooperative at all. I told him I'd talk to Mickey Mackay
about him. I also said I'd give his name to small
manufacturers at the Toy Fair. In that connection I suggested
that he send me some of his cards to hand out. He said
he would.
<br>There is a possibility that King Features may syndicate
his column. As soon as he can get in to Chicago he'll run off
a set of all the columns and send them to me.
<br>He mentioned someone in California doing a column on games
and I told him of <u>Richard Moon</u> and the <u>SAN MATEO TIMES</u>.
<br>He rcd. [received] a copy of <u>ACQUIRE</u> and looks forward to playing it soon.
We'll probably get together at <u>THE INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u>.
 
Called <u>Arthur</u>. Someone at Stein and Day gave him a galley
of <u>A TOY IS BORN</u>. I am in a chapter on "The Professionals" together
with <u>Marvin Glass</u> and a doll designer.
 
Working on packaging <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. Came up with names for
the 9 companies and added them to the cards.
