Their only other game book was SERIOUS GAMES, which bombed. Incidentally, they raised the "list" price of AGOG to $2.98. I mentioned that I had found an error inAGOG and Al suggested that I should call Pat Picardi - Book Sales - OR9-9191, and tell her. For foreign sales (Don Turnbull) the one to contact is:
