Rcd. SIGNAL #85. Mentions of AFTER THE HOLOCAUST, THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, INVASION: AMERICA, DIXIE; MARCHING TO RICHMOND; JOUE, FEU, CHARGEZ (Book of miniature rules); TUNNELS AND TROLLS (Imitation of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS); WORLD WAR I; ANZIO [?]; STAR RIDER; SHENANDOAH [Battleline]; CONQUEST; FALL OF TOBRUK ^(conflict); VICKSBURG: THE WAR FOR THE WEST 1861-63, MANSTEIN: BATTLES OF THE UKRAINE, 1941-44; EN GARDE! (a book and a p&p game). Sent letter for a review copy of EN GARDE!
Rcd. letter from Martin Gardner. He enclosed the a repro of the FOOTBALL article by Marek Penszko in PROBLEMY and asked if I could translate it. The game is by Lech Pijanowski. Called Martin and told him that I had rcd. a copy of the magazine with a letter from Penszko. Told him that I sent a copy of AGOG to Penzsko and that I will write and ask him for a translation. I'll also see if my father wants to translate. I told Martin that I rcd. the copyright back for AGOG and am waiting for an answer from Ken Heuer. Martin said that if Scribner's doesn't want it he has other connections - a partic- ular good one with Ballentine Books.
Martin has heard from Pierre Berloquin in connection with the introduction to Pierre's book. Scribners has decided to come out with 100 JEUX GEOMETRIQUES as a start - instead of a volume with the three books. Ken Heuer told Martin that there were a lot of mistakes, in the text and in the diagrams.
Martin would like a copy of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE.
Rcd. a catalog from "Gammon Games", together with an invoice for 221B BAKER STREET and THE SEX CONNECTION. (Pretty sure I have the catalog already.)
Rcd. ten copies of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE, with an invoice.
Mailed the following (after two trips to the P.O.)
Copy of AGOG to Marek Penszko - ($.34)
Copy of 6 PACK --- to Steve Wilson - ($1.91 - including insurance)
WOODEN SHIPS & IRON MEN to Walter Luc Haas - ($1.04)
VIKING, CHARIOT, YEOMAN, and MECH WAR '77 (all without boxes) to Walter Luc Haas - ($1.04)

Call from Herb Chanko. He'd like to take over a package deal for the SPECTACULARS, giving me the royalties as outlined by Phil Orbanes. He asked if I had checked this with Manny Lefkowitz and I said it was O.K. with him.
I wanted a model to work with and he wanted me to prepare just drawings. He'll call me in a day or so to arrange to get together.

Call from Felicia. Bob Johnson sent the games back. They came Friday when she wasn't in and she called to have them
