Image:Lokajski_004.jpg]] A '''pamphlet''' is an unbound Booklet (that is, without a hard cover or binding). It may consist of a single sheet of Paper that is printed on both sides and folded in half, in thirds, or in fourths (called a '''leaflet'''), or it may consist of a few pages that are folded in half and stapled at the crease to make a simple book. UNESCO requires a publication (other than a Periodical) to have 'at least 5 but not more than 48 pages exclusive of the cover pages' to count as a pamphlet; a longer item is a Book. Pamphlets can contain anything from information on kitchen appliances to medical information and religious treatises. Pamphlets are very important in Marketing as they are cheap to produce and can be distributed easily to customers. Pamphlets have also long been an important tool of political Protest and Political_campaigning for similar reasons. The storage of individual pamphlets requires special consideration because they can be easily crushed or torn when shelved alongside Hardcover_books. For this reason, they should either be kept in file folders in a file cabinet, or kept in boxes that have approximately the dimensions of a hardcover book and placed vertically on a shelf. ==Reference== UNESCO definition ==See also== *Flyer_(Pamphlet) Category:Publications De:Pamphlet Fr:Pamphlet It:Pamphlet He:עלון Nl:Pamflet Pl:Pamflet Fi:Pamfletti Sv:Pamflett
