booklet

Slim stapled pages

A booklet is a small, thin book, typically with a paper cover and few pages.

Booklets often contain informational or instructional material: The insurance company sent a booklet explaining the new policy.

They're larger than pamphlets but smaller than proper books—substantial enough to be bound but brief enough to read in one sitting.
