I probably say it about all of my books but this could really be one of my all time favorites...I mean it's in the top 10 with the other top 10 I LOVE and cherish.
It's a Japanese book with many many pages of European matchbox designs, the layout is lovely, clean and simple.
The publisher is Pie Books ISBN 978-4-89444-594-9
I got it from Kinokuniya Bookstore in New York.

This looks brilliant. I love the necklace set. Lucky lucky you!
what a cool, cool book! :)
This looks like it's going to have to join my small but growing collection of Japanese books. Thankfully I'm heading to Kinokuniya next week... the graphics make this a must have!
Wow - I need this book, I haven't seen it before and it looks fantastic! Matchbox graphics are so great.
Great illustrations ! More matchboxes here http://www.suprbo.com/2009/09/comme-un-artiste-en-boite/
you are so lucky you find such lovely books at Kinokuniya. If I may ask when you find these books/magazines under what category and or sections of the book store do you look in??
Cecil Beaton's Scrapbook:
I scour the whole store and find them in various places!
I always got to the children's section the craft section and the design/illustration areas primarily.
