reprint
A new copy of something printed earlier, with no changes.
A reprint is a new printing of a book, article, or other written work that was published before. When a publisher makes a reprint, they produce fresh copies of something that already exists, without changing the content.
Books get reprinted for many reasons. A popular novel might sell out its first printing quickly, so the publisher orders a reprint to meet demand. Classic books like Charlotte's Web or The Chronicles of Narnia have been reprinted countless times over decades, allowing each new generation of readers to enjoy them. Sometimes an out-of-print book, one that's no longer being made, gets reprinted because people rediscover its value.
Scientists and scholars often request reprints of their published research articles to share with colleagues. In this context, a reprint might be a photocopy or digital file of the original publication.
The word can also be used as a verb: “The publisher decided to reprint the dictionary after the first edition sold out.” A reprint keeps the same words, pictures, and page layout as the original, even though the physical copies are newly manufactured. This differs from a revised edition, which updates or changes the content itself.
