August 1975 - Wednesday 13
<br>225th day - 140 days to come
----
Rcd. a U.P.S. notice early in morning - saying they'd come again.
Later in afternoon delivered a package with <u>THE LAST WORD</u>
and <u>JABBLE</u> (from "New Approaches Inc.").
<br>Rcd. the copyright release for A <u>GAMUT OF GAMES</u> from Random House.
Called <u>Kenneth Heuer</u> at Scribner's. On vacation this week.
Told secretary about it and she'll have him call next week. Told her
to thank him for the book he sent -
<u>SIXTH BOOK OF MATHEMATICAL DIVERSIONS FROM SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>.
<br>Rcd. the game <u>STAR BATTLE</u> - rules for a moderated game - by
<u>T. Prestson</u>.
<br>Call from <u>Felicia</u>. She rcd. confirmation on the royalty split change
from <u>K.A> Michaelson</u>. Told her had mentioned it when I spoke to him
yesterday.
She is still after <y>Bob Johnson</u> to find out what is happening with
<u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u> and <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>.
I asked her about our contract with Aladdin, concerning royalties on
<u>TOTALLY</u>, <u>INTERSECTION</u>, and <u>PUSHOVER</u> with Epoch. They are
split 50-50 she discovered when she looked at the contract.
She said that <u>Alex Randolph</u>, she hears, has been getting a lot of
publicity. I said I knew he was getting write-ups in Europe but
I don't know of any in this country. She didn't either.
She'd like to try <u>RED LETTER</u> with Aladdin when it gets back from
Hallmark. I suggested <u>FOUR-ARMED BANDIT</u> also. She said that
they want only strategy games - altho she tried to get them to
diversify.
Told her I finished the <u>DAISY</u> article and will bring it Thurs. If
she's not in, I'll drop it in the mail slot.
<br>Call from <u>Claude</u>. Among other things, Anne saw something
in a magazine - a game <u>HOW TO PICK UP SOMEONE IN A SINGLES BAR</u>.
He didn't have any details - Anne does.
<br>Played <u>DOMINOS</u> with dad, Ilka, and BB - with the player going
out scoring the dominos left in the other hands. Gave dad and
Ilka the double 6 set we played with.

Laurie Horn brought me a copy of <u>DAISY</u> (April '75) and
also the "Brownie Reader" (Nov. '74). It seems that my arti-
cle is about the right level.

<br>Rcd. the game <u>WOODEN SHIPS & IRON MEN</u>.
