(cont. from 7/6) [7/8]

him about THE COLLEGE GAME. I told him about CONFRONTATION
and he thought they could offer a lot more of the inside
workings of a college. Felicia said I shouyld ask for 50% of the
royalties and Kronenfeld checked with Zwerling and they both
agreed.
I suggested getting together at the beginning of August but
Zwirling will be in Europe. We'll get together at the beginning
of September and discuss the whole matter. He'll call me.
Kronenfeld asked if I had ever thought of teaching a course
on games. Said that I had had the idea but had never looked
into it. We'll discuss it when we get together.
Felicia said she only wants 10% on AGOG, since that is the going rate.
Felicia called
{Harvey Gardner - Senior Editor
{Gold Medal Books - Fawcett Publications
{1 Astor Plaza
{New York, N.Y. 10036 [869-3000]
and spoke to him about AGOG. He is interested in the
book and I offered to send him a copy this weekend.
Felicia has to write to him concerning the status with
Random House. I'll call her tomorrow and dictate the
letter I got from Random House concerning return of the
rights to me.
Spoke a little about RACE THRU SPACE GAMES. The designer
Felicia works with is redesigning it. I'll write a
lauditory letter to Virginia Russell before calling Felicia
tomorrow & read it to her before sending it out.

On way to Arthur's stopped at
{Bookshop Round the Cornetr
{70 Argyle Road
{Brooklyn
{282-8781
He went thru some old books without finding anything of
interest. He has a whole pile of THE YOUTH COMPANION.
Looked thru a few of them and bought July 27, 1911
edition for $.50. It has an outdoor game called
THE INDIAN GAME. However it has some interesting features
that could be transferred to a board game.
I'll go there someday when I have more time on
my way to Arthur's and look thru the rest of them. The
price varies from 50 [cents] to $1.00 depending on "content". He
also took my address and telephone number in case he
runs across an interesting old book.
