APRIL 1974 - WEDNESDAY 17
107TH DAY - 258 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. [received] a note from Bernie Lane together with 2 copies of "Salesman's OPPORTUNITY" and 1 copy of "SPARE TIME." All in connection with his suggestion that I do a GAME on the mail order business. (Later discarded.)
Rcd. [received] a note from Tom (see 4/13): "I have not found that TIMES book section re: Parker/Library etc., but I have more sources to see if I can come up with it." (Discarded.)

Call from Felicia. Bill Garrity and Jim Rockwell will be at her place on 4/24 @ 2:30 P.M. looking at items. So far she hasn't heard a word about the things that Schaper is already looking at - including my SPACE BOXES. She tried calling but couldn't find anyone in to talk to.
I asked if she had any clue as to what they were looking for - but all they sent her was a catalog. I mentioned PUSHOVER and she said she wouldn't show anything that had already been rejected. I pointed out how much Garrity had liked it last year and, since their rejection was without comment, I feel that I am entitled to ask why it was returned. She agreed. We decided that I'd look over what they have seen, what I have to show them, and get back to her Monday.
I said that the only thing she had of mine in her office was THE 31ST HEX. She said I had taken it - but the diary says no.
She spoke to Bob Johnson and he is going to Chicago to talk to their ad agency about a promotion program. No plans for a N.Y. visit definite yet, but he does sound quite cheerful about the way things are progressing.
She forgot to ask him about SPECTRUM, but later sent him a letter about it.

At Boston Post Road made copies of "Capital Gains" material to send to Tom Atwater. Also copied the rules for THE BALLET COMPANY GAME.
At Trootie's bought 2 each of the light cardboard in yellow, blue, and green.

POST had an article on 4 GREAT TO DO books of adult activities. Some are games, including STEAL THE SILVERBOARD STEAL THE SILVERWARE, WINDOW WIT and 3 GAMES played on newly designed board. [filed in '74 misc. [1974 miscellaneous]]

Finished coloring the solutions for the SHAPE AND SHATTER puzzles.

Looked at the TIMES book section for February and March in the local library. Couldn't find anything about Parker/Library etc.
