Scribner's Sons Publishers. He called me after calling  <br>
<u>Martin Gardner</u>. He wanted Martin to read it but  <br>
Martin suggested me and gave him my qualifications. I  <br>
told him that there might be a conflict of interest because  <br>
of <u>AGOG</u>. He said that Martin had told him about it, and  <br>
their book is much more general in scope.  <br>
The fee for reading the book is $100. If they want me  <br>
to do any further work we will negotiate the payment. I agreed  <br>
and he'll send the manuscript to me.  <br>
 
I called <u>Martin</u> to thank him. <u>Heuer</u> had just called him today.  <br>
He said that he only rcd. 6 copies of his new book.  <br>
