In the old days, people used to write pamphlets.
Then they'd get into trouble and be tortured.
Or executed.
Nobody writes pamphlets anymore.
Where have all the good pamphlets gone?
I don't even know what makes a pamphlet a pamphlet and not a leaflet, a booklet, a flyer, a magazine, a waste of my time.
But where have they gone...?

A pamphlet is an unbound booklet. 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.
A booklet is a small book.
Leaflet and Pamphlet appear to be interchangeable.
A Flyer (pamphlet) is a single page leaflet. (again seems to be interchangeable)
A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles, generally financed by advertising and/or purchase by readers.
