In ''<u>TIMES</u>'' book review section saw the following mentions :  <br>
''<u>GAMBLER'S DIGEST</u>''. Edited by Clement McQuaid (Follett, $5.95) -  <br>
paper). The complete rundown on every gambling game that's  <br>
going... tells how to play, how to bet, how and when not to bet.  <br>
Jammed with facts and figures, background, local color. Hundreds  <br>
of charts, diagrams and photos.  <br>
''<u>THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TOYS, GAMES & DOLLS 1860 - 1930</u>''. Edited  <br>
by Joseph J. Schroeder Jr. (Follett, $4.95.) Ads from magazines  <br>
and mail-order houses showing the things kids have  <br>
played with from the stilts, hoops and hobby horses of 1860  <br>
to the automobiles and airplanes you could get in and ride in 1930.  <br>
Made a box for <u>HONORABLE RELATIONS</u> and made out  <br>

thing like <u>JOTTO</u>. He said that in something like this  <br>
<u>THE FICTIONARY GAME</u>, even if he gives me the idea he wants  <br>
me to have the royalties as long as I do the details.  <br>
I told him that I am sure that I can come up with a  <br>
lot of games for pencil & paper. I suggested my  <br>
<u>SOLITAIRE DICE</u> with 5 inexpensive dice in the package. Then  <br>
I thought of including pencils.  <br>
<u>Bob</u> is enthusiastic about a card <u>GAME</u> based on "Nostalgia"  <br>
by <u>Phil Orbanes</u>. Each card has connections to several other  <br>
[illegible crossed out] cards, such as Lou Gehrig to Babe Ruth  <br>
Bob advertised in his local paper for a researcher to work out  <br>
the connections and found a professor who is interested  <br>
in "trivia". Before this he gave Phil about $200 to buy  <br>
books for preliminary research. (Now they both want the books.)  <br>
Bob thinks <u>Gini Scott</u>'s <u>NOSTALGIA</u> is a bomb. In fact he  <br>
thinks she bats everything out too fast. I asked about her  <br>
<u>GANG TANGLE</u> and he has pretty much lost enthusiasm for it.
He took me for lunch in a fancy Chinese restaurant and  <br>
we discussed the game field in general and working together  <br>
in particular.
