MONDAY 27 FEBRUARY 1967 58th day - 307 days to come

Alice called. Asked if I had heard from Bob Abel when the True article will be out. Want to mention it to buyers. Said I'd call tonight. Told her I was thinking of putting out INFINITE PLANE myself. She thought it an interesting idea. She said that Arnold Shapiro would be in for Toy Fair and she wants to threaten to pull out the games they have if they don't have any idea when they will start moving.

Asked Bob Oxhandler if he knew of a contract lawyer. He says a school friend does his contracts. He does it on the side - he works for someone else - and is not expensive, but is good.

Claude called. He has an idea for a TV GAME about dress designing.

Arthur called. He wanted Jules Cooper's number so that he could ask him for some marketing information concerning the HIGH DECK. He once saw Jules at Lowell. I gave him the number but suggested that he wait till after Toy Fair.

Called Bob Abel and got Carol. Bob had a deadline and she couldn't get thru to him. Asked her to have him call me if he knew when the True article would come out.

Called Alice to tell her about Bob Abel. She does not care for the name INFINITE PLANE and would like me to think of something else. Said I'd try. She also says she likes the name SIT DOWN AND THINK and will write to Bill Caruson tell- ing him the story of how it came about. Arnold Shapiro will be in town for Toy Fair and she is going to insist that they get moving.

Completed the estimate of the value of my collection. -- Games - 640 in card file. Those not indexed not counted ($4 ea.) Books - About 375 ($3 ea.) Patents - About 800. Estimated value - $4,000.
