January 1977 - Friday 7
7th day - 358 days to come

Letter from Graeme Levin. Would like a repro [reproduction] of the booklet COLLECTOR'S CATALOG AND PRICE GUIDE TO WARGAMES. Would like me to supply "Across the Board" items for G&P. Didn't receive my letter of 12/28/76 yet.

Made new set of tiles and board for ANOTHER. Bought clear plastic at Pioneer and covered the tiles.

Called Claude and he discovered the repros I left yesterday. BB was going out with Dana & I had her get me 12 repros of SPACE EXPLORATION and 7 of RESCUE at Boston Road.

Call from Leonard Willett. Told me how much to send in. Agreed that the money to Felicia was deductible. His son is interested in getting a copy of QUINTO. I said that I might have a duplicate. Checked and found I did. Called him back. I'll send it to him as payment for his info.

Played BAZAAR with BB using a set number to win. Discovered that the 21 points I had suggested to Tom Shaw was much too little. At BB's insistence played to 100, but probably the following would be better: 2 players - 50 ; 3 players - 40 ; 4 players - 30 ; 5 players - 25 ; 6 players - 20.

POST had full page article on games by Andy Soltis (their CHESS writer. Mentioned POST OFFICE (by Postal Worker's Union), MONOPOLY, CHESS, SCRABBLE, PETROPOLIS, JAWS, SMOG, DIRTY WATER, BLACKS AND WHITES, THE CITIES GAME, BODY TALK, GROUP THERAPY, HERSTORY, LANDSLIDE, WHO CAN BEAT NIXON?, LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL, DIPLOMACY by Alan Calhamer (of Manhattan!), MASTERMIND, AMAZE by Frank Csoka (of Manhattan - how about SNIFF?), SIEGE by William S. Kelly.
