Not only are the covers attractive, but there are surprising varieties. Not only can the matches themselves be decorated, but it was also possible to have the striking incorporated into the design. People could, for example, strike their matches on Hitler's butt. The matchcovers are arranged by subject and the page layout is attractive. One wonders if the large numbers of erotic matchbooks reflects the preferences of the author or the market.
A good choice for people either interested in beginning the hobby, or interested in these intriguing bits of popular culture.
