Wrote the SPECTRUM rules.

Called Leonard Willett about the State Income Tax. We decided to accept it as they stated it. (Actually he called me back tomorrow morning.)

Call from Phil Orbanes. He read the rules for WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU? and liked them - tho he didn't have time to play. He spoke to Van Zedwitz about the theme of COLLECTOR'S CHOICE and he like it - whcih will carry weight with Djoli. I mentioned that I had ideas for lengthening the stand-up game.
Carl Eisenberg would like another 12 p&p games and would like to start looking at them by the end of July. Phil is counting on me to supply the bulk of them.

Spoke to Carl Eisenberg and he'd like about a dozen games for the p & p line by the beginning middle of September (I believe) but he'd like to start looking at them by the middle of July. I told him more likely the end of July. O.K.
I asked if he still wants some solitaires (NO WAY). He said no. A solitaire is O.K. in connection with a game, but not alone.
He said that X - Springbok had missed the boat by waiting so long to come out with their new line. Actually he knows that
