The end is fast approaching; I have seen a Sign. There are monogrammed leather covers for paper books of matches. The item is somewhat akin to a leather checkbook cover. The matchbook's non-strike end is slid through a leather bar or strap, perhaps stitched on as a separate piece, perhaps just formed from two cuts in a lining. The matches themselves are in front of this strap or bar but under the cover. The book of matches may also slide beneath a strap inside the other half of the folded cover, but the illustration does not make that visible if such is the case. Thanks, Kate Spade / Jack Spade; the world's been waiting for this. The price is ten dollars; the photo is in the most recent Papermag.
