Letter from Haar Hoolim. Sent me repro of box cover for HOP-A-LONG and drawing of the board. Mentions [illegible word crossed out] SEEJEH, LIVE AND LEARN, FORCES, UP WITH THE KING.
Rcd. SIGNAL #87. A.H. will issue WOODEN SHIPS & IRON MEN in a flat box this fall; also a 2nd version of TOBRUK and CAESER'S LEGIONS - based on but different from EAGLES. Taurus is selling RAIDER OF THE NORTH, BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC, UNDERSEA WARRIORS. Review of PUBLIC TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT GAME (P.T.A.) Mentions of U-BOAT (Tabletop Games); AERIAL WARFARE the set of rules (Leicestor Micro Models Ltd.); WORLD WAR II (M. Dumdei); HITLER'S LAST GAMBLE (Rand); LEYTE GULF (M. Dumdei); Review of JAGDPANTHER #10. Contains MARINE! Articles on 25 different games, including SIXTH FLEET and ANZIO. Review of S&T #51. Review of BATTLE PLAN #2. Tells the people behind Rand and gives articles on BULGE and MISSILE BOAT. Mention of ANZIO and ANZIO BEACHHEAD and BATTLE OF MOSCOW (latter two by S.P.I. - but discontinued.)
Brought the beam compass to Claude's and left it with him. He gave me the game CASTELLO. (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. SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. (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 CONTEMPORARY GAMES:---. 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 OFFICE PARTY, for 25¢. Probably some chips and cards are missing. At an antique and book store bought an 1953 Plaything PLAYTHINGS Directory Issue for 50¢. Also got a free copy of "Earth Science" - badly water damaged, but readable.

(cont. from 9/18) [9/30]

We played 3-hand TREFFLES, the DOMINOES version (which he calls SNAKES) - using the 75 - card deck.
The TREFFLES 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 AGOG but couldn't find one. Gave him one, but signed it to him and Eric.
