Synopsis
From the 1920s to the 1950s, a small but useful advertising gimmick spread like wildfire into the purses, pockets, and kitchen drawers of millions of Americans. The give-away matchbook was one of the most pervasive means ever found of putting promotional images into the hands of the public. Small and disposable, matchbooks were not only a highly successful marketing tool for a wide variety of products, they were also the repositories for a wealth of anonymous design creativity. Fantasies of ocean travel, bathing beauties, regal leisure, and tropical locales adorned the covers, as did hand-lettered typography, stylized illustration, and eye-catching color. This red-hot celebration brings the ubiquitous matchbook's art to life in all its pulp panache and visual zing.

    I use this book for artistic impression

    The imagery in this book is the best out there. If you collect match book covers, you understand they are tiny artistic advertisements in most cases...and tiny art in all cases. Pop art, lettering, color theory, shading/shadow placement it's all here in a visual sense! Look at what the people that were paid to make art used as an effective advertising tool. Studying the masters is great, but most of them died as starving artists. It arrive slow, but free, and in perfect condition.
