JULY 1976 - THURSDAY 15
197TH DAY - 169 DAYS TO COME

To Random House Fabio Coen late and spoke to Janet Townsend.
She said that the lettering in BEYOND SOLITAIRE was a little rough, but passable. For BEYOND WORDS, however, she suggested that I get press-on letters. We checked and came up with "Helvetica Light" 20 pt. and 12 pt. She gave me most of a sheet of something
else to practice. She said the sheets should be sprayed with
"Krylon" #1303 - Crystal Clear to keep the letters on. Use light blue for guide lines. Arranged that I'd bring the tear out sheets on 7/29 at 10; she'll get "direct positives" for me to pick up that P.M. to
use for illustrations. Spoke to Fabio a little. Mentioned giving a review copy of BEYOND TIC TAC TOE to PLAYTHINGS. He said he'd sent me a dozen to have on hand. I said that three would be enough. He asked Fay Hartog to have six sent.

From "Statesmen's Club" called John Stephenson. Told him that I finally
got the mention of "Games Gallery" in S & T. He now has two
stores, the new one at 169 E. 61st St.
I asked about CRUDE and he suggested my writing the co. for review copy.
At book store in next block to "Club" bought THE GAME OF WORDS.

To Eastern Artists & Drafting Materials. Bought the press on letters
(24 pt. instead of 20 and regular instead of light for small),
and the spray. Also bought some shop worn sheets of letters,
numbers, and colors - quite inexpensive. Also some colored
pencils. (Total $11.53.) Also was given a "Chartpak" catalog.

To Bob Gellman asked if Art Bernstein had the BACKGAMMON rules
finishedArt had told him that there were a few minor changes
that I told Art about, and they have been taken care of.
Bob gave me a copy of BUSINESS LE JEU DES SOCIETES (at home I
added the repros I had made from Phil's copy). He also gave me
a copy of CARD CHES (which I reprod last year).

While I was out Felicia called with some kind of question on PIT STOP.

On All Things Considered a teacher spoke about his game POETRY POKER. Actually not a game - it is a set of cards with a different word or phrase on each. Members of his adult group are dealt a certain number and must create a poem using them.
