- It is through the help of vigilant fellow collectors that
I am able to illustrate my "Matchbooks in the Lawbooks"
column in the RMS Bulletin.
-
- Below is the latest list of some covers sought as illustrations
for future columns. If any on this "hit list" are found,
please either e-mail me a good clear scan or send me an actual
specimen that I can scan and return to you. Due attribution
will, of course, be given in the column to the provider of the
illustration.
- Please circulate this list at club meetings, Conventions,
Swap-fests, etc.

- Thanks,
