Monday 13 October 1969

286th day - 79 days to come

Diane Jaust called. She asked for the address of THE GAMESLETTER. Told her I'd call tomorrow. She also asked about something called "Games Continuation" but I told her that [duplicate word] one didn't come from me. She'll check on it and will let me know what it is if she finds out.
I told her about THE JOURNAL OF RECREATIONAL MATHEMATICS.
I mentioned colleges and she said she that she had contacted the publisher of [words crossed out] "University Review" which is sent to most of the college stores. His partner is a game nut and he passed the copy of A GAMUT OF GAMES to him. Diane is sure we'll get a good re- view.
While talking I thought of RECREATION, the magazine of the National Recreation Association. She was interested.
We decided to get together next week and go over her lists. Maybe some new ideas will come to me.
Later thought of [crossout] THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER. Will tell her tomorrow.
When talking about colleges Diane mentioned that when it is in paperback it will do better than the hard cover. I asked her if it was definite that it would be in paperback. She said that she didn't have any information but she felt sure it is the kind of book that will be in paperback.
I asked her if it would be possible to get copies of the reviews when she gets them. She said they do that automatically.

Called Sally Kovalchick. Asked her about ad material on A GAMUT OF GAMES. She checked. Nothing yet, but she is sending me a catalog. [crossout] She expects a picture of the book soon and will send me a print as soon as she gets it.
I asked about the bill for the 20 copies of the book I received. Send it to her and she'll have it charged a- gainst my future royalties.
I mentioned that I hadn't rcd. my author's copies. If I don't get them by beginning of next week, let her know.

The October issue of the INTERNATIONAL WARGAMER came. It had a complete game in a supplement - VICKSBURG.

Called Jerry D'Arcey in California but got an answering service. Gave her a message:- Book is out and will send copies to him and Frank Thibault as soon as I can. Asked what they are working on? How is JUG-A-LUG with Parker? Is Frank coming to Buffalo? Did Jerry check on Richard Moon? Did Frank write to THE ARITHMETIC TEACHER about BAZAAR?

Arthur called. Arranged to go there Friday and bring copies of A GAMUT OF GAMES. He has [duplicate words] some interesting things to show me.
