 ''<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
+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>
+another puzzle sheet, making 4 in all.

+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.
