The formatting of the title of a pamphlet, which is on the divide between a booklet or short book on the one hand and a leaflet or brochure on the other - specifically, whether to italicize the title or place it within quotation marks - is left to editorial discretion at the article in question. Anything that has been assigned an [[Wikipedia:ISBN|ISBN]] or [[Wikipedia:ISSN|ISSN]] should be italicized. Another rule of thumb is that if the work is intended to stand alone and to be kept for later reference, or is likely to be seen as having merit as a stand-alone work, italicize it. Use quotation marks if the item is entirely ephemeral, trivial, or simply promotional of some other work or product. | The formatting of the title of a pamphlet, which is on the divide between a booklet or short book on the one hand and a leaflet or brochure on the other - specifically, whether to italicize the title or place it within quotation marks - is left to editorial discretion at the article in question.
