WEDNESDAY 10 SEPTEMBER 1969 253rd day - 112 days to come

Tom Atwater called. He had a letter from Jim Rockwell. They sent a contract for Alex' games of ISHIDŌ and CASTILLE, 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 TEMPO is a good game he is going to take it, as well as INTERPLAY and ODD OR EVEN. 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 PACE 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. GIOCHI DI CARTE-VOLUME PRIMO. 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 FEUDAL & BLUE LINE HOCKEY. Would like to see the copy of STRATEGY & TACTICS. They are still wondering how to publish EXECUTIVE DECISION.

Rcd. a letter from A.H. Redpath of 3M concerning the pos- sibility of sublicensing a European Co. to manufacture ACQUIRE and BAZAAR.

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 TEMPO, INTERPLAY, and ODD OR EVEN to TAKE 5 and TAM-BIT as games of mine that will be coming out next year. Said it would be more impressive.
