Martin said that | Martin said that ''<u>SCARNE'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GAMES</u>'' was <br> | ||
cribbed shamefully from previous books. It undoubtedly, <br> | |||
he said, was ghosted. Told him about <POKE</u>, which <br> | |||
we figured was cribbed from ''<u>ESQUIRE'S BOOK OF GAMBLING</u>. <br> | |||
Had a letter which I borrowed from Martin on 9/30/72 - <br> | |||
with <u>DODGEM</u>, <u>SERPENT</u>, and an unnamed game - and reproduced <br> | |||
some time ago. Meant to return it but forgot. <br> | |||
Martin has turned in a column, which willget a cover on <br> | |||
''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>'', on the mathematical aspects of <br> | |||
the ''<u>I-CHING</u>''. Told him of the one by D.D.I. and he would <br> | |||

name appear on a game. <br> | |||
After coming up with a way of producing <u>STACTICS</u> so that <br> | |||
it would price out Hasbro finally decided not to do it. <br> | |||
Frank's son came across a book in school that listed <u>AGOG</u> <br> | |||
as a book that would help students develop their thinking: <br> | |||
''<u>READING - HOW TO</u>'' by Herbert Kohl -Dutton. | |||
In a call to Phil <u>Laurence</u> he told me that Elliott had talked a friend <br> | |||
into buying <u>SLEUTH</u>. Now they both love it. I told <br> | |||
Elliott the 2-player version. | |||
