Book of the Day: UK Pub Matchbox Labels 1968-1989

From the publishers: "This book brings together a selection of pub matchbox labels produced roughly between 1968 and 1989, a time when pubs in England were a natural part of everyday life. The interest behind this collection comes from personal memories of those places, and from the way each one seemed to carry its own distinct identity. Collected over time, these small printed pieces show how pubs expressed themselves through simple logos, typography, and illustration. Today, they stand as quiet reminders of a changing landscape, while also offering a valuable reference for designers and collectors." Book of the day. (Masala Noir & Jumbo Press, 2026)
