This is a nice Flickr photoset of vintage matchbook cover designs. The set is photographed as a gallery, allowing each matchbook to shine on its own in its own photograph. Some make use of great typefaces and others have really simple illustrations on them. [via]

I know Josh and his family have a HUGE basket full of matchbooks and it’d be interesting to dig through there and see what treasures come up. Josh, you reading this? Get those matchbooks scanned or photographed ASAP! :)
