Are Pamphlet Titles Italicized?
Pamphlet-title formatting is style-dependent. UW–Madison’s editorial style guide italicizes pamphlet titles, while UMBC’s house style uses quotation marks, so the governing style guide should decide the format.
Not universally. Some house styles italicize pamphlet titles, while others put them in quotation marks.
