15%. Djoli thought it should be 20%. Phil asked if 17 1/2% | |||
was O.K. with me. Sure.<br> | |||
Had to leave to meet Claude and arranged to come back. Phil | |||
asked if I could bring him a copy of the new S.P.I. game | |||
packaging. Said I would.<br> | |||
Met <u>Claude</u> at 200 Fifth Ave. and we brought it to Kohner. The | |||
envelope was made out to be delivered to <u>Arnold Stubbman</u> | |||
(not Irving as Felicia originally said) and also gave his secretary's | |||
name - all according to Felicia's express orders.<br> | |||
Claude bought me a stack tray at stationery store on 23rd (where | |||
he bought other material - I paid for his lunch at Chock Full | |||
of Nuts). To Childcraft looking and then to a new educational | |||
supply store on Park Ave. South with acronym "TEACH". At | |||
Kwik Kopy bought Claude 12 red pencils for 25¢, but he | |||
insisted that I take two.<br> | |||
Claude came up with me to S.P.I. to help me reduce the number | |||
of games on the list I prepared yesterday, but <u>Jim D.</u> wasn't | |||
in to get his ideas. ''<u>S & T</u>'' #40 still wasn't ready but Manny, | |||
Redmund's assistant, gave me another sheet with my column. | |||
He told me that my column for #41 set up in 2 1/2 | |||
pages and there is room. He found it interesting.<br> | |||
From Sal <s>took</s> got a copy of <u>FOXBAT & PHANTOM</u>, in the | |||
new package, to give to <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Claude has a friend | |||
who was in the navy in WW2 and I got him a copy of the | |||
''<u>S & T</u>'' with <u>CA</u> to give to his friend.<br> | |||
Claude went home and I went back to "Gamut". Phil told me, | |||
and I heard in a conversation, by phone, with Andy Davis, that | |||
Reiss is not doing as well on a number of items as he had | |||
expected. There will be no movement on new product such<br> | |||
