 To Random House. <u>Fabio</u> gave me two copies of a book - <br>

+mentioned the possibility of their doing a paper back of<br>
+''<u>AGOG</u>'' - but very vaguely. I mentioned that I have <s>getting</s> been getting<br>
+requests for a sequel to ''<u>AGOG</u>''. He said to prepare a listing of<br>what I would want to include and maybe it can be published<br>
+simultaneously in hard and soft cover. Another possibility he<br>
+threw out was a book including game connected with U.S.<br>
+history, in connection with the bicentennial - for children.<br>
+He also thought that the sequel to ''<u>AGOG</u>'' should be aimed <br>
+more towards children. (A lot of this conversation at the<br>
+Cornell Club where he took me for an expensive lunch.)<br>
+Gave <u>Fay Hartog</u> the copies I made of the <s>two</s> last two royalty<br>
+reports and she got repros and returned them to me. She'll try<br>
+to get me an answer within a week.<br>
+Fabio thought that over $2,000 was a lot to get from the<br>
+reprint edition, especially since Random House was getting half.<br>
