7 MONDAY - MAY 1973
127TH DAY - 238 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] a call from {John Flagg
{19 E. Shore Drive
{Babylon, N.Y. 11702
Dorothy Shapiro of Brentanos suggested that he call me. He has invented a GAME similar in mechanism to SCRABBLE. He showed it around a little and "Classic Games" is interested in putting it out, as a start on non-standard games. He would like to put it out himself. I told him the problems he would run into. Whichever decision he makes he will send me a copy once it is published.
I told him about my S&T column and he said that Dorothy had given him a copy of the magazine.

Rcd. [received] the game TREK, from Graeme Levin.

Called James Trager (see 2/1) to tell him that I haven't forgotten about BAWDY BESS, but that I have been very busy. He wasn't in so I left a message.
Called Werner Glaeser in answer to his letter of 4/30. Told him to send me a glossy of QUADTRIPLE.

Rearranged the boxes in the basement to get the 12 large ones against the flat (north) wall. Also got 28 of the [illegible strikeout] 34 boxes I picked up at my old office against that wall.

Rcd. [received] a letter from Peter Pearce saying he had sent me NETRESULTS, GREATSHAPES, and SNOWCRYSTALS (which I rcd. [received] on 5/4). He mentioned AGOG. Also sent their catalog.

Called Claude. He went to thrift shops Saturday so we called off date for tomorrow. Date Thursday instead. He is still on a vacation from games.

Finished copying the board and the pieces for DECLINE & FALL.

(cont. from 5/8) [5/21]

lowing games in the catalog:- COMPETATIVE JIGSAW, CROSSWORD TIC-TAC-TOE, WORD POKER/CASINO/RUMMY, and CROSSWORD BINGO.
- Skor-Mor. Spoke to Kenneth E. Richards. Asked about ARCHIEBALL. He'll send me a copy. Also copies of their new ones:- THE PETER PRINCIPLE GAME (took rules), and PRIME TIME. Took a sheet with those two listed and also:- LUIGI BOARD, PRIME TIME, YESTERYEAR, 5IVE STRAIGHT (object to get 5 in a row I think. (Richards is Merchandise and Sales Manager.)
