<u>Felicia</u> called. <u>Bob Edwards</u> called her yesterday. <br> | <u>Felicia</u> called. <u>Bob Edwards</u> called her yesterday. <br> | ||
<u>FITTING & PROPER</u> - they like it almost as much as I do. They are <br> | |||
sending us a renewal contract and $250. It will definitely be <br> | |||
in the "first wave" which will be issued under the "Springbok" <br> | |||
label. (I told her about the "Bookshelf" jigsaw puzzles.) <br> | |||
The first wave will consist of puzzles and word games. Out- <br> | |||
side of <u>FITTING & PROPER</u> he wouldn't tell her what would be <br> | |||
included. Sometime between May and August of 1972 he will <br> | |||
start sending her art work and samples. <br> | |||
Word games seem to be filled up. He had her send <br> | |||
<u>I SENTENCE U</u> but no more. She asked, in order to save <br> | |||
money on postage, what categories they are interested in - <br> | |||
2 hand strategy games and card games. <br> | |||
If they can solve the problem of players getting headaches <br> | |||
<u>SPELLBINDER</u> will probably be in. They are still working on a <br> | |||
new set of cards. <br> | |||
They still haven't rcd. <u>PLANES</u>. <br> | |||
<u>Felicia</u> is going ahead, probably, with <u>Lilian Vogel</u>'s game file <br> | |||
idea, and Lilian came in while we were talking. <br> | |||
Felicia is going to spend a whole day with the development man <br> | |||
from Samsonite. Next year they are coming out with 60 new items, <br> | |||
toys & games, mainly for children. If they ask her, she will advise <br> | |||
them against going into adult games. They will be discussing the 1973 <br> | |||
season. She will ask <u>Al Richter</u> to join them - maybe he can <br> | |||
learn something to get him working in the right direction. <br> | |||
I asked her to ask them about <u>AMOEBA</u>'s fate. She said she would. <br> | |||
Rappaport's complains that there are just too many adult games <br> | |||
and they are not going to handle those of marginal companies. <br> | |||
Felicia convinced them to include <u>EXECUTIVE DECISION</u> in an <br> | |||
ad she was doing for them, but they never received the order <br> | |||
they put in some time ago. <br> | |||
She rcd. a letter from <u>Arnold Shapiro</u>. He is leaving Hallmark because <br> | |||
he is not happy with his new superior. He sent her his resume <br> | |||
and asked if she knew of any possibilities. She sent it to <u>Mel Taft</u>, <br> | |||
in view of all the companies they have been acquiring. <br> | |||
He told her to give me his regards. | |||
Called <u>Eve Auchincloss</u> at ''<u>BOOK WORLD</u>''. Gave her the mail order <br> | |||
address for <u>BUGS & LOOOPS</u>. Reminded her that she'd call me when <br> | |||
the proofs were in. <br> | |||
Called <u>Robert Gellman</u> of Research Games, Inc. I'll go there <br> | |||
on Weds. 12/1 and he'll take me to lunch. | |||
Called <u>Jim Dunnigan</u>. Had him add the word "still" as <u>Dale</u> <br> | |||
suggested to my writeup of <u>THE GODFATHER GAME</u>. | |||
Gave him <u>Colby Duerk</u>'s and <u>Rob Randall</u>'s addresses to have their <br> | |||
prize sets of <u>KURSK</u> sent. <br> | |||
I'll bring him <u>TRIREME</u> on 12/1. He'll run repros of the rules <br> | |||
for me on their new machine. Also copies of my ''<u>S & T</u>'' <br> | |||
(cont. on 11/28) | |||
