are doing O.K. but other things are not moving and she doesn't know if<br>
she'll be able to do any reordering. She also said that <u>PATTON</u> is<br>
doing pretty well. The S.P.I. games are doing quite well. (Jim D. had<br>
told me that he got a big reorder.)<br>
She said that <u>BALI</u> was doing well there, but the S & R is dropping it.<br>
(I never heard anything about that from Felicia!!)<br>
After some hints from Dorothy I arranged to go there on 12/10, 12/11, and <br>
12/12 to demonstrate all of my games. Later I looked upstairs and saw<br>
that there were no <u>SLEUTH</u>s, only 1 <u>VENTURE</u> (I think), and only a<br>
few <u>THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS</u> and <u>FITTING & PROPER</u>.,<br>
She had a copy of <u>SCRIMMAGE</u> which she had considered handling in<br>
1970, but decided against. She gave it to me for my collection.<br>
Upstairs looked at the games. Saw a series of games by<br>
"Teaching Concepts" (no address given). They are <u>FRACTION BROS. CIRCUS</u>,<br>
<u>CIRCULATION</u>, <u>SUPER SANDWICH</u>, <u>READ AROUND</u>, and <u>SPACE HOP</u>. (At home<br>
''<u>NEW YORK</u>'' Magazine had a piece on them - Filed in '73 Misc.).<br>
They had Skor-Mor's <u>PRIME TIME</u> and one I haven't seen, <u>5IVE STRAIGHT</u><br>
which looked like a variation of <u>GO MOKU</u> with cards to 99 that<br>
correspond to spaces on the board. (Actually did on 5/21.)<br>
Call from <u>Felicia</u> while I was downtown. BB told her that I was<br>
visiting my editor. <u>Dick Harris</u> will be in on 12/3 to see <u>3D BOXES</u> - 10:30 AM.<br>
Sent a check to Bea Ecks' charity (see 11/16) for $7.50.<br>
At Brentano's took an 1973-1974 catalog. Among other things listed:<br>
<u>FRUSTABLES</u>, <u>CORNERED-BUT-UNDAUNTED</u>, <u>EMOTE</u>, <u>CHINESE CHESS</u> <br>
(Game-ophiles), <u>SYNTACTICS</u>, 16 of the S.P.I. games (Jim D. told me, after I<br>
asked, that when he said they didn't have the money Brentano's<br>
(cont. on 11/26)
