27 Friday - July 1973
208th day - 157 days to come
With BB to Claude's. Gave Brought him 12 boxes of the small chips.
Loaned him the book HANKY PANKY.
He gave me a copy of the book GODS & GAMES (I'll pay for it) and
loaned me the book HEADS I WIN TAILS YOU LOSE "The psychology
and symbolism of gambling games" by Charlotte Olmsted (MacMillan,
1962)
To Philadelphia.
At Walnut Book Store bought a book CHESSMEN for $2.98
One of the clerks started talking to us and asked which
games I had invented. It turned out that he has SLEUTH,
a present from his girl friend. I told him about the rules
for 2-hand play.
At Old Curiosity Shop bought a card game - ZODIAC GAME for $5.00.
On the rules there is an advertisement for a strategic
board game - PERPLEX. The game is © 1908.
After considerable looking found, at Emerson Book Co., the game
CIRCO LOGIC. Bought it for $7.95.
At {Val Char, Handicraft Division, 7801 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, Pa. 19082} bought 11 packages of 100
plastic "nuggets" - list price $1.72
and 4 bags of 10 of another
color - list price $0.30. Claude
got 4 bags of the 100. I got 40%
off for my "Gamut of Games" letterhead.
Took a catalog. Filed in "1973 Misc. [miscellaneous]"
Asked Claude if he had finally contacted Wald (see 7/24). Yes. Wald
is interested in setting up a talk program and asked Claude if he
would appear on it if he succeeds. He asked Howard Wexler and he is
willing too. Wald wants me, but never did call me
A big toy store in Phila. [Philadelphia] had one each of TEMPO and ODD OR EVEN.
(cont. from 7/28) [7/30]
Call from Earl Perel just as I was leaving for downtown.
He is in Albany on a visit and will call me when he gets
back.
[arrow pointing to paragraph above and paragraph below] [started 7/30]
Alan Newman thought that he knew of two games that I didn't
know. He saw them in Florida. EL GAME, which he didn't like - and
MASTER MIND, which he did.
