Arabic term

مطبوعات

Arabic to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations Brochures
"الكتب و المطبوعات"

My best solution was "books and magazines", as in Arabic, the pair "كتب و مجلات" is rarely used in official prints. "مطبوعات" refers to alternative forms of printed materials other than books, that is, magazines :)

Any suggestions?

I wouldn't say مطبوعات is just books and magazines - how about journals, newspapers, brochures, leaflets, bulletins, newsletters....
