Leaflet, pamphlet
Hi.
What is the difference between pamphlet, brochure , leaflet and flyer ?
Dictionary definitions are very similar, below are my impression about these words.
Brochure: a thin book mainly for advertisement a product or a place.
Pamphlet: a thin and small size book with paper cover which gives information about a particular subject. The sheet size is usually bigger in brochure than those of leaflet. And the leaflet topic can be about Islam but the brochure would be full of pictures advertising a product, or suggesting a place to tourists.
Leaflet: Leaflet is not binded and it has several sheets that can be folded and they give information about specific thing.
Flyer: Flyer is a single sheet which is usually handed out to people in the street giving information about an oncoming event or advertising a product. Flyers can be posted on walls or bulletinboards. Flyers can be called hand-out as well if they are given out to random people.
I would be grateful if you could let me know if my impressions about these words are correct. Or if there is other important distincations that I am missing.
Thank you

Hi; These are not rigidly defined. One person's flyer is another person's brochure. This is only a rough guideline: Brochures and pamphlets are usually several pages.
