WEDNESDAY 27 OCTOBER 1971
300th day - 65 days to come
In the Publishers Central Bureau booklet a page of Reiss
games and puzzles were included. NINE OF SWORDS was
one of them. (Filed in 1971 Ad Clips.)
Call from Felicia. She thanked me for returning ZEC-HI. She
asked my opinion of the new rules. Still a "cut & patch
job". She agrees, but Bob Edwards likes it.
American Girl has a "fun & games" section. No 3M games.
As well as Al Richter's meeting with Avalon Industries,
Felicia is working on getting some of the things wuth the
Girl Scouts and thinks she has a good chance.
The inventor of HIGH FINANCE or GOLD called when she
wasn't in.Maybe he has the model ready. She asked my
opinion of it again and when I said it was original
and not too hard to play she said said she'd try it
with 3M, for the Family line.
She asked about the new NYGA member (Earl Perel) and
if his games were good. I told her that he preferred
to work without an agent. I also assured her that I didn't
give him, or anyone else, confidential information.
Also that his games are not special.
Told her that I will be at Brentano's Friday too.
Told her that PLANES came back. After I repair the
model we'll play it and then decide where to show it next.
Told her that I didn't have a copy of HAGGLE. She'll save
one of hers for me.
She probably won't be handling Anatole Holt, Zena G
wanted her to call him in Mass. She wrote instead and
he hasn't answered her. He wants $100,000 for MEM
(including the molds I suppose). No one is going to give
that kind of money. She did rather enjoy playing
MEM when Zena talked her into it.
Called Ken Morgan, MOVIE MOGULS is in the Brentano and
Bloomingdale catalogs, but it is not selling terrific
numbers.
He is aware of the Adult Game Fair at Brentano's.
His partner will bve there several days.
Altman's is moving their adult games to the ground
floor. Ken will be working there thru X'Mas.
Rcd. the game NEW TOWN. Also rcd. the 6 copies of
TRANSFORMATION Mary Hilt promised to send me.
Started working on a presentation model of HOLEY TERROR.
Rcd. a call from Joan Oliver, a free lance writer who
is working on a piece concerning adult games for an
upcoming magazine, LIFE STYLE. She interviewed
(cont. on 10/28)
