too much success. I told him about my connections with Felicia, <br> | too much success. I told him about my connections with Felicia, <br> | ||
who also was going to see <u>Marshall Lucas</u> and how I have to keep things separate. | |||
Told him that I might have other possibilities for <u>TAKE-A-WORD</u>. <br> | |||
I'll let him know if I do decide to show it elsewhere. <br> | |||
He'll let me know in advance of any meeting with Marshall <br> | |||
Lucas so that I can decide whether to have him show it or not. | |||
To Brentano's. Spoke to <u>Dorothy Shapiro</u> and gave her copies of <br> | |||
''<u>S & T</u>'' #32, 33, 34, & 35. <br> | |||
3M told her that they did well in '72. The games did well <br> | |||
in Brentano's, except for <u>MONAD</u>, of which they have piles. There <br> | |||
is only 1 <u>SLEUTH</u> left but they can't reorder until after inventory. <br> | |||
She said that jig-saws are doing very well. Told her of the ones in <br> | |||
food packages. The salesman never called on her. <br> | |||
She said that <u>TRIPPPLES</u> was the nearest thing to a craze this <br> | |||
X'Mas. They will be coming out with a cheaper edition with a <br> | |||
plastic tray. Dorothy doesn't think the present edition looks worth its price. <br> | |||
She asked me to let her know if I find any other possible crazes. <br> | |||
I told her about <u>HOLIDAY</u>. She was very interested in it, <br> | |||
particularly that it can be played by from 2 to 8 players. Possibly I'll <br> | |||
go to the store to demonstrate it. <br> | |||
She wants Bob Gellman to get in touch with her, because she <br> | |||
wants more <u>MOVIE MOGULS</u>. <br> | |||
Saw that they had copies of ''<u>AGOG</u>'' in the game book section <br> | |||
for $2.98. | |||
To Pierce Promotion and got an <u>IMAGE</u> glossy from <u>Jack Davis</u>. | |||
Met <u>Claude</u> and went to the thrift shops. Claude bought a copy <br> | |||
of <u>Jules Cooper</u>'s <u>THE STOCK MARKET GAME</u>. I bought, for 35 [cents], <br> | |||
<u>THE GAME OF LOVE</u>. <br> | |||
Claude had the March and Dec. '72 ''<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u>''s for me - <br> | |||
50 [cents] each. Returned the copy of ''TOY REVIEW</u>'' to him. The Dec. '72 <br> | |||
mag. mentions Jerry D'Arcey and <u>THE IMPUZZABLES</u>. <br> | |||
Claude asked me what kind of arrangement I would want if he made <br> | |||
use of the moving mechanism I used in <u>TAKE FIVE</u>. I told <br> | |||
him that I had gotten a release from Renwal on it and I will <br> | |||
probably try to do something with it myself. <br> | |||
Claude rcd. a letter from HASBRO saying that they had bought all <br> | |||
rights to his Auction <u>GAME</u>. He rcd. a letter from <br> | |||
Frank Armbruster that his royalties on <u>GENIUS BLOCKS</u> were about $22 <br> | |||
(the amount was Claude's not Frank's). | |||
Rcd. the letter from Hasbro on <u>HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME</u>. <br> | |||
<u>Arthur</u> called to say that he had rcd. his. <br> | |||
Rcd. the $375 check for <u>FOCUS</u> from Hallmark. (cont. on 1/27) | |||
