Tom Atwater called. He had a letter from Jim Rockwell. They
sent a contract for Alex' games of <u>ISHIDŌ</u> and <u>CASTILLE</u>,
also another repro of the same one for me to look at and
note up if I want changes. Jim said that since Tom
thinks that <u>TEMPO</u> is a good game he is going to take
it, as well as <u>INTERPLAY</u> and <u>ODD OR EVEN</u>. Also he is
going to have all of them ready for the [crossed out] Stationery
Show in 1970. There is a $250 closing fee for each game.
Called Pierce Promotions & spoke to Jack Davis. My letter didn't
come yet. I voiced concern about their getting my 4
games to <u>''PACE''</u> Magazine in time for Vibert's deadline.
He'll call me as soon as my letter arrives.
When I got together with Claude he gave me a copy of
EGO. It is really a non-game. (When a checked at
home I found that 3 cards were missing.
Claude saw an Italian book on card games at Hopaling's
on 42nd St. Went there with him and bought it for $3.50.
<u>''GIOCHI DI CARTE-VOLUME PRIMO''</u>. Nothing really new, but at-
tractively done & illustrated. Also it is the first volume of
what is probably a 2 volume set.
Rcd. a letter from Bill Caruson. Told me to keep the extra
set of <u>FEUDAL</u> & <u>BLUE LINE HOCKEY</u>. Would like to see the
copy of <u>''STRATEGY & TACTICS''</u>. They are still wondering
how to publish <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u>.
Rcd. a letter from A.H. Redpath of 3M concerning the pos-
sibility of sublicensing a European Co. to manufacture
<u>ACQUIRE</u> and <u>BAZAAR</u>.
BB gave me a thank you letter from Jerry D'Arcey which ar-
rived several days ago.
After work called Martin Gardner. He'll be glad to
add <u>TEMPO</u>, <u>INTERPLAY</u>, and <u>ODD OR EVEN</u> to <u>TAKE 5</u> and
<u>TAM-BIT</u> as games of mine that will be coming out next
year. Said it would be more impressive.
