Mis forMatchbook
A matchbook is a different way to store matches than the more common matchbox. Matchbooks are essentially a folded over piece of cardboard with a rough strip on the outside for striking the matches on. The matches in the matchbook are all attached together in a row, and also attached to the inside of the matchbook. They are also made from cardboard, and must be torn off before they can be used.
