Gorham Match Safes is a new book written by Neil Shapiro and George Sparacio and published by the International Match Safe Association. It is an attempt to record all the known Gorham match safes in public, private and institutional collections as well as all of the archival images in the Gorham Archives in the John Hay library at Brown University.

The attractive and comprehensive book Gorham Match Safes is an essential addition for collectors of match safes, as well as Gorham and antique silver buffs in general. The Gorham records at Brown University continue to enhance our knowledge of the famed company. Shapiro and Sparacio provide context and guidance in the "Author's Note," then proceed to neatly and successfully categorize any and all known Gorham match safes.

Before you touch this volume, the design of it makes clear that this is something special. Residing in a cloth-covered slipcase and having a matching cloth binding, this is no ordinary tome. Everything about it shouts from several paces off-behold and show reverence. Upon removing the book from the case and opening the oversized cover to reveal a total spread of 12 x 23 inches, the dramatuic display begins.
