OP Dear Faldage: locofoco I hadn't heard for a long time. But doesn't fit, because book matches
are safety type, meaning the require special ignition strip, for safety. The locofocos did not.
And the locofocos were not in books.
Even the book matches could be dangerous. I saw a guy in Philippines light a cigarette, holding
the book of matches between index and social finger, with strike strip near his palm. Sweat had
made match heads brittle, and a burning chunk popped onto heads of matches in the book,
and a flame shot out into web between fingers, causing a horrible burn.
