has plugged 3 times, but can't find one. I told Roger about
Waldenbooks probably having it; also gave him the address
of "Book Sales; and failing that, I'll sell one to the reader.
He has gotten a number of letters on <u>AGOG</u>, which is good
since it shows that the column is being read. Most of his
letters are from readers who can't locate a reviewed game.
<br>He rcd. [received] word from <u>Zeke Rose</u> of Ideal, and thanked me for telling
Zeke about him. Surprisingly, the only company that sends
him games without his having to ask is Parker. Others, like
3M, he gets when he asks. And some, particularly M.B. [Milton Bradley]
are not cooperative at all. I told him I'd talk to Mickey Mackay
about him. I also said I'd give his name to small
manufacturers at the Toy Fair. In that connection I suggested
that he send me some of his cards to hand out. He said
he would.
<br>There is a possibility that King Features may syndicate
his column. As soon as he can get in to Chicago he'll run off
a set of all the columns and send them to me.
<br>He mentioned someone in California doing a column on games
and I told him of <u>Richard Moon</u> and the <u>SAN MATEO TIMES</u>.
<br>He rcd. a copy of <u>ACQUIRE</u> and looks forward to playing it soon.
We'll probably get together at <u>THE INTERNATIONAL GAME SHOW</u>.
 
Called <u>Arthur</u>. Someone at Stein and Day gave him a galley
of <u>A TOY IS BORN</u>. I am in a chapter on "The Professionals" together
with <u>Marvin Glass</u> and a doll designer.
 
Working on packaging <u>THE BRAIN GAME</u>. Came up with names for
the 9 companies and added them to the cards.
