2 MONDAY - APRIL 1973
92ND DAY - 273 DAYS TO COME

Letter from Graeme Levin. A large publishing house is interested in AGOG, world rights as well as U.K. He ordered TREK for me.
Called Random House and spoke to Fay. I have to write for return of world rigt translation rights. Sent a formal letter plus a personal note to Fabio.
Wrote to Graeme. Told him I have or will get, all rights except U.S. and Canada. Mentioned TREK, G&P #9 & #12, THE SIGMA FILE, and DAFT DRAUGHTS.

(cont. from 4/4) [4/4]

Felicia called Bob Johnson and he called her back.
They found SPACE STIX a little slow. They liked the 4-hand version a little better that the 2, but are still returning it to me.
Bob didn't have much chance to try IMPULSE, but he found it a little difficult to get the rules. He hopes to have time to try it some more soon.
Felicia asked about some games and I asked about RED LETTER. He said their general plan is to introduce the strategy games next year. He'll get together with us right after Stationery Show and go over everything they have of ours.
Felicia was saying that maybe she'd have to take some things back and mentioned DUEL. Bob said she'd have to come and fight him for it. At another time he showed enthusiasm for FOCUS.
Felicia gave me a G&R 1972 catalog, since she has the 1973. Nothing in the way of games that I am not familiar with.

To "Gamut of Games." Went over INFINITY rules as they were being typed. Arranged to go there Monday for a final check after the preliminary type is set-galley. Phil gave me a check for $200 for my work on INFINITY.

Dale brought me a book that had been sent to Simulations, and which they don't want: [illegible strikeout] GAMING: THE FINE ART OF CREATING SIMULATION/LEARNING GAMES FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.
Also she brought THE DOT GAME and a letter from David White, which were also sent to Simulations.

Rcd. THE GAMESLETTER #53. In "Miscellany" mentions a letter from S.K.
Howard telling about TRAP, which was in Sears catalog.
Also a note from Don Miller. Wanted all the S.P.I. games eventually, pre-
ferably in this order:- STRATEGY I, PHALANX, DARK AGES,
AMERICAN REVOLUTION, KOREA, 1812, GRENADIER, LA GRANDE ARMEE,
WILDERNESS CAMPAIGN, FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR, LEIFZIG, 1918, SOLDIERS
THE MARNE, BARBAROSSA. He also would like copies of MOVES.
In same envelope sent AUX ARMES! - #7, #9, and #10.
David Kribs (BEAT THE MARKET) called while I was out. He'll call tomorrow.
