packaging. I mentioned that there were other number  <br>

the game for 4 to 6 weeks study and gave me a letter  <br>
as a receipt. He and his partner have formed a new  <br>
company, MelMick, to put out <u>BLUFF</u> and my game, if  <br>
they accept it. They will give an advance and 5% royalties  <br>
at the start but sliding down to about 2 1/2 %.  <br>
He said that Jerry agreed with these terms, the exact  <br>
figures will still be negotiated. (I'll contact Jerry and  <br>
coordinate our figures.) Mel said that with TV advertising [crossed out]  <br>
they will need to sell at least 100,000 copies of a  <br>
game per year.  <br>
Discussed my changes in <u>PAYOFF</u>. He said not to rush  <br>
getting them finished. (I'll shelve it for the present.)
Felicia called. They rcd. their report from 3M.  <br>
<u>ACQUIRE</u> - $21,432.88 sales  <br>
<u>BAZAAR</u> - $2,864.76 sales  <br>
Total royalties &971.91  <br>
This represent a dropoff on <u>ACQUIRE</u> sales for this quarter  <br>
from about $24,000 in 1967, but just about the same  as 1966.
Felicia thinks <u>BAZAAR</u> will do well this year. She also says  <br>
that storekeepers, although they don't push <u>ACQUIRE</u>  <br>
since it isn't new , consider it a staple.
At Brentano's on 8th St. saw that they were restocked with  <br>
the Bookshelf games. Also saw <u>FASCINATING CUBE</u> again. It  <br>
is copyright 1966 by Executive Enterprises. (No address  <br>
given and I don't know why I previously thought it was  <br>
a California outfit.)
