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.

(cont. from 1/9) [2/22]

-The Ungame Co. Spoke to Lew Herndon and we both agreed that it was too bad we didn't get a chance to get together when I was in California. Looked at SOCIAL SECURITY and told him not to send it. Looked at ROLL-A-ROLE and asked him to send me a review copy. Took "The Commicator," an ad sheet on these two and the THE UNGAME.
-Press Room. Picked up a press kit for "Nation Time" and added some sheets from it to yesterday's material. Also a Parker Press kit. Picked up a lot of material for Ronnie Cory and Gini Scott.

To Felicia's. Alan Newman there. She heard from Harold Frankel and learned from him the "Buddy L" is desperate for her new products (is he with them?). She'll give Alan and me first chance, before she contacts another designer. We both felt that trucks were not for us.
Alan picked up a copy of WORLD PRO TENNIS TOUR at Americana.
The L-GAME and James Koplow came up but can't remember the context. Alan asked is Andrew Green played STRESS. I mentioned THE RIGHT WORD.
