Are matchbooks made much, anymore? It seems like handheld lighters with some type of fuel, tend to be more popular.

In recent years, matchbooks have had a resurgence, in my opinion.  They’re quite stylish and practical for lighting candles.  You should check out Matchstick Lighters.  They make a lot of different sizes and shapes of matchbooks, some of which look like animals or musical instruments.

I hear you there, but that doesn't really answer my question. Tell me, are they making more or less matchbooks these days?

They probably haven’t made many matchbooks in recent decades, at least, not to my knowledge.  If you’re talking about matches themselves, they are definitely still made.  They’re still much less expensive than lighters.

That may be the case. Seems like lighters these days are only a few pennies.
