On Canal St. bought stick-on labels to use on file folders for
temporary filing of games in progress, correspondence
of limited duration, etc.
On Broadway bought some "Lily cups" for a GAME (see 10/23).
At Marboro bought LANGUAGE ON VACATION by Dmitri A. Borgmann.
Looked for THE LAS VEGAS EXPERT'S GUIDE TO CRAPS, BLACKJACK, CARD GAMES
but couldn't find it at once and didn't bother asking.

To S.P.I. Spoke to Jim a few minutes. Got four copies of S & T #40
and ran off 8 copies of my column. Also ran off 4 copies

Can't promise me a whole room, but can promise a table.
To Felicia bringing sandwiches and coffee. Jack Baryy and two bigger shots from Owens-Illinois were there before.
Jack and Felicia tried to sell them on 3D BOXES but they just didn't

This could be remedied by placing the towers further apart.
I said that I didn't want to make another model and Felicia

of the high cost of materials, hinted she'd take less.
Told Felicia that I had the "Lily cups" and would work on a
GAME.
A messenger delivered a box with ECLIPSE, OVER 'N OVER,
PAIR OFF, and POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER - no letter. I told Felicia
that I'd like to know what his reason for returning them was.
Felicia called and then let me speak to him. He said that he stubbornly
showed them at a meeting with the sales people etc. in which the
that had been set up to consider children's toys, so they
just weren't attuned to them and rejected them without
any study. He personally said they were all good items and
showed a lot of talent.
He suggested that they be resubmitted, 2 at a time, the
first two
