English translation: publications

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Arabic term or phrase:مطبوعات
English translation:publications
Entered by: Ahmed Al-Rouby

Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Brochures
Arabic term or phrase: مطبوعات
"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?
