290TH DAY * 75 DAYS TO COME

Met Claude at Metroplitan Book Store. (After dropping off 2 copies
of PATTON with Al Nofi to give to Dave Isby and Bob Champer.)
Claude forgot his ECLIPSE model in his subway booth.
While Claude went to pick up his model I went to "Gamut of
Games". Phil had just sent his gambling game - PRIX to D.D.I.
for consideration. He still had a copy of his rules so I
had him run off repros for me.
Now that Djoli is out of the management of "Gamut of Games"
Phil will be getting busy preparing games to sell. Reissue will be
get first refusal rights but after that he will try to set
up other contacts to sell to other companies. He will get a salary
from "Gamut of Games" and also a royalty - max. 33 1/3% of
that given for the game.
I will fit in with "Gamut" also as a supplier of games.
I pointed out that with Hoi Polloi and "Gamut" that was fine,
but with D.D.I. and other companies my moral commitment
to Felicia took precedence. He suggested that he might get
specific assignments for a game. In this case and with
an advance fee, even if nominal, I would be able to take the
assignment. All my things that I think up myself would go
thru Felicia. He wanted my commission to "Gamut" to be
15%. Djoli thought it should be 20%. Phil asked if 17 1/2%
was O.K. with me. Sure.
Had to leave to meet Claude and arranged to come back. Phil
'asked if I could bring him a copy of the new S.P.I. game
packaging. Said I would.
Met Claude at 200 Fifth Ave. and we brought it to Kohner. The
envelope was made out to be delivered to Arnold Stubbman
(not Irving as Felicia originally said) and also gave his secretary's
name - all according to Felicia's express orders.
Claude bought me a stack tray at stationery store on 23rd (where
he bought other material - I paid for his lunch at Chock Full
of Nuts). To Childcraft looking and then to a new educational
supply store on Park
