WEDNESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER 1970 252nd day - 113 days to come

Called Steve Salomon at "Arrco." He said he had transmitted my request for the SKARNEY DICE instruction book to Skarney, He said he'd check but I told him that I didn't expect any cooperation from Skarney himself.

Called Brian Blake and he called me back. Told him that I was working at-home now and that I hope to be able to have him and John here to try out a Harry Lorayne GAME.

Felicia called to say that she saw Anne (?) Dorothy Shapiro the buyer at "Brentanos." The games are selling very well. The new gamettes are being accepted. ACQUIRE shapes up as their best seller of the "3M" games. Right now Anne Dorothy is mad because she reordered it and it didn't come yet. I'll either try to tell Dick Littlefield myself, or ask Jack Davis to do it. Felicia said that she had a fabulous idea for publicizing VENTURE and I should have Jack Davis call her. She had good news from other retail stores as well. Felicia bought the last copy of the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR with my interview, but the president of "Brentanos" wanted it and Felicia had to give it to him. She thinks she may be able to get them to advertise a demonstration by me. She said that Richard Rosen of "Urban Systems" had taken Anne Shapiro out to lunch and thought it would be a good idea for me to do the same. She will be on vacation for the next two weeks. Felicia thinks that the good showing in games should get X moving.

Working on the instruction changes & corrections for EXECUTIVE DECISION. Didn't get to the covering letter to Kathy Brooks.

Brian Blake mentioned that his Flash Cards based on Lorayne's memory system were not produced after all. [crossed out] [crossed out] The successor of "Hallowell Industries" was supposed to do it, and I suggested Bob Hallowell. I looked for Bob's number but couldn't find it. Told Bob Brian I'd locate it and call him.
