(cont. from 7/7) [7/18]

Bernice was with Dale today, and Dale said that someone had sent a card GAME to Simulations, and that Phil had it.
Called Phil and he said that it was a letter about a card word game. He read it to me and it sounded like they were trying to sell the game to Simulations. I'll get it from him, the letter that is, when we get together.
Phil said that Jim Dunnigan is going to cut down on the S&T advertising budget. Also they'll be putting out less games.
The circulation of S&T is now just under 25,000.

When with Bob Gellman, suggested sending PATTON to amateur war mags. I'm to prepare a list.

(cont. from 7/20) [7/20]

Mr. Shapiro of Book Sales, DAFT DRAUGHTS, and CHERCLES.

Put markers in my S&T file boxes so that I can find the issues I want, either originals or duplicates.

Thinking of another p&p GAME idea. Something like REVERSI can be played by each player putting a mark in a side or a corner as he gains the space.

Called "European Publishers Representatives Inc." just to see if they stocked back numbers of G&P. No. Just take subs.
Called Bekins and they still sell the "Bekins Boxes for $6.00 a dozen.
