NYC's COOLEST MATCH BOOKS
A fun blog post from REFINERY 29 sharing some of the author's favorite match books from up and down Manhattan, as well as a few from the Hamptons and some other New York-related locales.
"...this is all about really unique specimens of miniature artwork you'd love to carry in your bag or keep on your mantel—whether you need a light or not. "I love simple, elegant design that feels relevant but timeless," says the author Emmett Shine. From an old-school Soviet print to a simple pair of peepers, Shine's favorite samples are all here,... along with the lowdown on what makes them so special.
...there are endlessly major match books all over the Big Apple, ....., so leave us a comment if you think we missed some badass 'books. Can't start a fire without a spark, right?"

MATCH BOOKS used by Mike Bell to Create His 3D Portraits!
Except from the Offbeat Earth blog
Gene Simmons from KISS
Artist Mike Bell has found yet another use for match books by turning them into 3-D portraits that are just flat-out cool.
A very creative use of match books!! Little works of 3D art portraits created by Mike Bell. He uses all the parts of the match book: the inside cover as his blank "canvas" and then adds parts of each of the individual match stems to create his mini 3D Masterpieces!
Check out some of his work:BATMAN
Dracula
Elton John

MATCHBOX FOOD RESTAURANT GROUP -Partner Endorses the Effectiveness of Match Advertising!
MATCHBOX FOOD RESTAURANT GROUP Strongly Believes in the Effectiveness Match Advertising
Excerpts from article written in the Washington CITY PAPER March 27, 2012
However antiquated the once common eatery freebies now seem, the things are an essential part of Smith & Co.'s branding. Every table at your local Matchbox Restaurant Group location, for example, is embedded with the [match] boxes as part of the decor. You'll find all sort of themes including Elvis, Hello Kitty, and Star Wars, among others.
Perry Smith, a principal partner of Matchbox Food Group says the company spends thousands of dollars on the logo-emblazoned complimentary flame starters..."And customers usually just don’t nab one, they literally grab handfuls of them. ... we go through thousands of them a year”... Smith says. "That’s what people expect. It’s probably our best form of advertising for what we do.”
