reprints

Copies published again

Reprints are copies of a publication produced after the original printing.

A book that sells well goes into reprints; a scholar orders reprints of their journal article to distribute.

As a verb, to reprint is to print again: The publisher reprinted the classic novel for its anniversary.

A reprint may be identical to the original or include minor corrections.
