Call from <u>Fay Hartog</u>. The French rights to <u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u> are open.
Gave her <u>Jean-Jacques Bloch</u>'s address and she'll have two copies
sent to him.
<br>Visit from <u>Robert E. Horn</u> [address] ((Exchanged cards))
<br>He was primarily interested in learning about the game business
from me. Gave him generalized info - such as M.B. [Milton Bradley] is probably
the biggest and that they do their own development mostly. Also
that the Marvin Glass organization is very powerful. Etc.
His idea is to develop a means of combining sales to educational
and mass markets. I told him that M.B. had two completely
separate operations. Also that the word "educational" is considered
the kiss of death n the mass field.
<br>He was looking for games that would be (or could easily be
adapted) appropriate for the two markets. <s>The number of
players</s> I showed him <u>BAZAAR</u>, <u>ORION</u> - neither of which he
felt to be appropriate. He liked <u>HOLIDAY</u>, <u>RAILWAY RIVALS</u>
(I gave him <u>David Gwyn Watts</u>'s address); <u>FRENCH CHATTER</u> (gave
him <u>Steve Brodie</u>'s address).
