Rcd. the introduction to <u>DIABOLIC SQUARES</u> from <u>Claude</u>. Put it together
with the other material to bring tomorrow.
<br>Rcd. X'Mas card from <u>Felicia</u> with short note.
<br>From Random House rcd. a repro of <u>TIMES</u> review of <u>BEYOND TIC TAC TOE</u>,
with a note signed by "Rochelle Henderson - Dep't of Library Services."
<br>Made a diagram for <u>CARROLL</u> and for <u>NO WAY</u>, each on half of a sheet.
On another sheet drew up <u>ALONE TOGETHER</u> and <u>FOUR COLOR</u>. At Boston Post
Rd. got 4 each of these two sheets and also 4 repros of <u>PINBALL</u>.
<br>For "Word Games" book have these: <u>JOYCE</u>, <u>DICKENS</u>, <u>O. HENRY</u>, <u>POE</u>,
<u>CARROLL</u>. For "Solitaire Games" book have these: <u>NO WAY</u>, <u>PINBALL</u>,
<u>ALONE TOGETHER</u>, <u>FOUR COLOR</u>.
<br>Made a new <s>new</s> sketch for the <u>VASARELY</u> diagram.
BB tried <u>FOUR COLOR</u> and <u>NO WAY</u> in the evening. She said they were O.K.
<br>On "All Things Considered" there was a short segment with one of the
principles of "The Game Designer's Workshop." Nothing of partic-
ular importance.
<br>Annette <u>Laurence</u> asked me to appear at her - or rather Jill's -
Brownie meeting on 1/10/76. I am a "celebrity" because of my <u>DAISY</u>
article.

"Misc. wargaming folder.)
<br>Ran off four copies of my <u>DAISY</u> article. (Filed in I.S. folder.)
<br>Looked at "Pushcart - Job Lot." Nothing. At store with "Lego Blocks"
they had only a limited number left. Asked and they said that
that was the end. Bought 6 packages, but later found that five
of them consisted almost entirely of only 2 sizes of yellow
bricks.
<br>On way downtown stopped on Canal St. to buy an 1976 game diary.
$2.25. Their new method of gluing the pages instead of stitching
them is a pain.
<br>Rcd. 1 deck of <u>O-SHLEMIEL!</u> cards, with the rules booklet.
<br>Thought of an idea for <u>INVESTMENT</u> - to make it visually attractive.
Have 4 instead of 6 companies and have the market value indicated
by a graph. Buying a share of stock can be indicated by placing a
mark on the graph - with an additional mark when it is sold. Stocks
should tend to go in the direction they are going until a number
drawn indicates a change. This should happen about 1 in 3 or 1 in 4.
(To be worked out.)
<br>When I spoke to <u>Richard Berg</u> I offered to let him reproduce my copy of
<u>THE COLLECTOR'S CATALOG AND PRICE GUIDE TO WARGAMES</u>. He reminded me
that he had given, probably, the bulk of the info to <u>Cooper</u>.
