“The give-away matchbook was one of the most pervasive means ever found of putting promotional images into the hands of the public,” according to Chronicle Books. True? I don’t know. But I sure do love the cover of Striking Images: Vintage Matchbook Cover Art. In fact, I hope the Chronicle folks made some matchbooks with that cover. Via Drawn!: The Illustration and Cartooning Blog.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

For more great matchbook design — as well as not-great-but-funny — check out James Lileks’s “Matchbook Museum.” A new (old) matchbook every Monday.

This week’s matchbook qualifies as not-great-but-funny.
