Call from Pierre Berloquin, in Washington. Told him about the non-chess material in BIBLIOTCA VAN DER LINDE - NIEMEISERIANA BIBLIOTHECA VAN DER LINDE - NIEMEIJERIANA and offered to send him repros of it if he can't get it from The Hague.
Read him a list of his books that I have: LE LIVRE DES JEUX, 100 JEUX ALPHABETIQUES, 100 JEUX GEOMETRIQUES, 100 JEUX LOGIQUES, 100 JEUX NUMERIQUES, TESTEZ VOTRE INTELLIGENCE, and UN SOUVENIR D'ENFANCE D'EVARISTE GALOIS. He'll send me other six - and a 14th is already in the works - on "Table Games other than cards."
Ireland won the MONOPOLY tournament. Pierre didn't think it was well arranged and probably won't give it favorable covering in his reviews. He was sent to represent "Le Monde" and "Le Point" Mag. - with Miro paying the bills.
Ralph Anspach was there (where?) with ANTI-MONOPOLY. Jay Walker, one of the authors of 1000 WAYS TO WIN MONOPOLY GAMES, was not ad- mitted - Pierre said why, but didn't make it out.
To "Gamut of Games." Went over the SLY proofs with Al Zygier and found a few things not taken care of.
Reproduced all except two unimportant pages of SIMULATION/GAMING/NEWS (vol. 2, no. 5, "Our 19th," Sept. '75).
