There are other magic books that start a fire when opened. I just never saw one with "Firestarter" as the title. The idea is the person opens the book, begins to read, and a fire starts.
Would there actually be "fire" or did it just get hot?

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
My best guess is that the tube is a match holder and has a spring. You load a match and place in the down position. While opening the book the spring will pull the match up and scrape across the back surface which will cause the match to light. I would think the strap is fire resistant and keeps the whole mess from burning up. Probably doesnt work very well and appears that the spring is broken.
Only a guess. I have no inside knowledge. Or much knowledge at all, if you ask my daughter. She knows everything. Maybe I should ask her.

That is the way these auction threads started - only post the interesting stuff and let people do their own search for the more common (relatively speaking) items, so that the diligent might land a good deal. These days RF is doing his part to support the collectibles market in a down economy by calling attention to just about everything.

I'm pretty sure you did sell one for less than that. During the week of "strange items at strange prices!"?
I gave one away under the Pass on the Read programme.
