Reprints refer to the re-publication of material that has been
previously published. The term carries different connotations across
various fields, but essentially, to reprint something means to
publish it again or issue it in a new form.
For example, books may go out of print for a long period before a
publisher decides to reprint them. In other cases, books are so
consistently popular that they are continuously reprinted.
