WEDNESDAY 20 NOVEMBER 1968 325th day - 41 days to come

Alice called. They are going to clean up their shelves Friday and want to know if I want some of the games they would throw out, I said I'd like to look thru the stuff, they will contact me Friday. Alice said two games came from 3M. They haven't opened them yet.

Told her I'd try to rewrite WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? over the 

weekend and bring it and FITTING AND PROPER to her next weekend.

Looking thru most of the 2nd hand book stores, Found 3 copies of Benham's PLAYING CARDS, 2 for $5 and then one for $3.50 which I bought for Lech. Bought a Jiffy Bag for it. Will hold it until I hear that he received the others I sent. Also bought the paperback of ABBOTT'S NEW CARD GAMES Called Jerry D'Arcey in California, Jerry told me the following: - JIG SEE- Rejected by 3M. CHOICE Avalon-Hill bought the copies he still had around HANG UP- Rejected by Parker - Being considered by Lakeside. CROSSUP POKER - Formerly called SCORE (see slu, read some money... A from M, B, although it will come out in about 6 months. stove CODER Rejected by Parker & M, B, Now with S&R. for consideration: BLUF - sent back by E.S.R. It is now with Saalfield for consideration. PROGRAM-(Ie- sent back by E.S. Being considered by 3M CHe got $ 250 from E.S.R.) Joan URANIUMO- Being considered by Parker LOUP D'ETAT - His 3rd quarter royalty was around $1000 PLoYo - Frank's game was rejected by Createk. It is still being considéved by press man. 3M'asked to look at it again but then made no commitment REGATTA • Frank's 3rd quarter royalty was about $1000, CHICKEN OR EGGHEAD :- Haus 3rd quarter veyalty was also around $1000... IN I told him about rejection by Parker and also about THESE UNITED STATESO and EXECUTIVE DECISION. (see below). Told him my royalty on ACQUIRE & BAZAAR", a Asked him about Create and said he said he was going to see them next week. Told me to send ANOTHER to him and he'd show it, without charge, I said he should have an agent's fee, He said noo we'll avane later. (Later BB packed it and will take it to post office tomorrow.) Asked him about pressman and he said he had spoken to Mr. Pressman who was very nice. Asked him if heid mind if I went there and he said I surely should, sil k an Letter from Bill Caruson. They are netarning EXECUTIVE DECISION Just too exhausting. I should call him collect if I want to talk to him about it, there was another letter addressed to ime from him but the inside was to someone else I'll call and tell him about that, and also talk about simplifying the game. Also tell him about RED LETTER.

Thought of an idea for a card GAME. The kings are removed (cont, on 11/a)
