<br>Brought the beam compass to <u>Claude</u>'s and left it with him. He
gave me the game <u>CASTELLO</u>. (Later discovered that one black piece
was missing. Put in one, of completely different shape, that I had
around.) Claude also gave me a sheet of wrapping paper with
"Breugel's" picture of active games. (Filed on shelf 34.) Loaned
me the Sept. <u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>. (I can take out Martin's column, ex-
cept for the page that has part of an article on the back.)
Claude mentioned that in Strand he saw several copies of
<u>CONTEMPORARY GAMES:---</u>. The price was $28 but he wasn't
sure whether that was for one or both volumes.
In Haddon (I believe) I bought a copy of <u>OFFICE PARTY</u>, for
25¢. Probably some chips and cards are missing.
At an antique and book store bought an 1953 <s>Plaything</s>
<u>PLAYTHINGS</u> Directory Issue for 50¢. Also got a free copy of
"Earth Science" - badly water damaged, but readable.

We played 3-hand <u>TREFFLES</u>, the <u>DOMINOES</u> version (which he calls
<u>SNAKES</u>) - using the 75 - card deck.
<br>The <u>TREFFLES</u> deck was turned down by "Heines." He is thinking a-
gain of putting it out himself, and I tried my best to disuade him.
Dave said that he'd like to by a copy of <u>AGOG</u> but couldn't find one.
Gave him one, but signed it to him and Eric.
