Call from Fay Hartog. The French rights to BEYOND TIC TAC TOE are open. Gave her Jean-Jacques Bloch's address and she'll have two copies sent to him.
Visit from Robert E. Horn [address] ((Exchanged cards))
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.
He was looking for games that would be (or could easily be adapted) appropriate for the two markets. The number of players I showed him BAZAAR, ORION - neither of which he felt to be appropriate. He liked HOLIDAY, RAILWAY RIVALS (I gave him David Gwyn Watts's address); FRENCH CHATTER (gave him Steve Brodie's address).
