The Library History Buff

Promoting the appreciation, enjoyment, and preservation of library history

Matchbook Librariana

One of my smallest collections of librariana consists of library matchbooks. My entire collection is shown below. Matchbook collecting is a hobby in itself. To get a sense of the scope of this collecting phenomena check out the results of an image search for "matchbook collections" on Google. Out of that huge assortment of matchbook collections I came across a group of matchbook covers for The Modern Library.
