19 Thursday - July 1973
200th Day - 165 Days to Come
Rcd. [received] a letter from Dollar Savings Bank saying that the $100 check
from THE INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW was returned for "insufficient
funds."
Wrote to Larry Blandin about it.
Rcd. [received] a "thank you" card from Wald and Ann. (Discarded.)
Rcd. [received] an announcement (to S. Sackson P.E.) saying that the
corporate headquarters of Marx Inc. (a subsidiary of Quaker
Oats) have been moved to their own building in Standford, Conn. [Connecticut]
(Discarded.)
Rcd. [received] a letter from Haar Hoolim. Mentioned STACK-UP, DAFT DRAUGHTS,
G&P, S&T, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, UP, CHINESE MATCHING CARDS,
BITSBITSBITS, SIM, LAS VEGAS POKER.
Called Mr. Shapiro of Book Sales. He said he had rcd. [received] Graeme
Levin's letter and had answered it. For reference he told me
that the retail price of AGOG is $2.98 and that there is
a reduction of 46% for a substantial amount (several thousand -
I believe).
Wrote to Tom Atwater asking about HIT THE JACKPOT.
Looking at G&P #16 (that I borrowed yesterday). Had articles
on THE SIGMA FILE; NOVA; HEX; THE PHILOSPHERS GAME
(RITHMIMACHIA); ARITHMETICAL CHESS; C&O/B&O; KLIK;
THE GAME OF NATIONS; CHAOS; GAMES WITH PENCIL & PAPER - which
includes, among others, BOXES, BATTLESHIPS, GO-MOKU, ELEUSIS,
SPROUTS, SUBTERFUGE, THINK A LETTER, PENTOMINOES. Letters to
editor - letter from John Boardman mentioning MAH JONG and
SCIENCE AND CIVILIZATION IN CHINA; readers asking about games
they remember - CONFRONT, MILITAIRE, and an unnamed GAME.
Ads for TOURNAMENT GOLF, JACKPOT, MONEY GO ROUND, MASTER MIND.
Called Felicia. Not in and left message for her to call me.
In Plastic catalog saw that 1/2" balls are 5¢ each, down to
2¢ each for 1000 or more. Called Steve Saxe about the
GAME we discussed yesterday. (I'll call it LOUVER as a
working title.) He'll check on the availability and price
of glass balls.
Called Claude. We'll go to Philadelphia next Friday unless
Claude has to work overtime Thursday night. He mentioned
a book YOU CAN THINK BETTER THAN YOU THINK YOU CAN which
says it has a lot of games, but they are probably puzzles.
BB suggested changing the house around again. Discussed it and
finally decided on her and I sharing the upstairs living room
while Dana takes both walls of Dale's room, except for the
6 boxes I have there. Put a lot of the duplicate games, both
mine and others, in 4 of those boxes.
