(17)pp. In this "match book," author and artist Robert E. Massmann muses on his personal collection of matchbooks and matchboxes. Bound in dark red cloth boards with a printed label. The diminutive volume is housed in a red matchbook, tucked in amongst eleven real matches of various colors and designs: "If you strike these matches, I think you are nutty; at the same time, I don't know another publisher brave enough to provide so convenient a vehicle for expressing disapproval -- it will all burn but the staple!" Paper label on the matchbook reads: "Thee just met thy match:-- Bob the Bewildered Bookmaker." The matchbook is slipped inside a green and white card matchbox, and assorted matches line the bottom of the interior tray. Both matchbox and matchbook are equipped with strike strips. Very fine.
