reprint is a re-publishing of material that has already been previously published.

 

An imprint means bibliographic information about a book, it refers to the name and address of the book's publisher and its date of publication as given at the foot or on the verso of its title page.

thank u Dr. Pachauri sir

we need to revise the basic things

Reprint

When a book is first printed, there are these things called "film" that are used to print the books from. After the first printing of a book, publishers may sometimes have text corrections that need to be made, or they simple sold out of books. They then use the film to print more copies of the book, or correct the typos by making new plates, which make the film, and print more copies of the book. This is called "reprinting" the book; the book itself is called a "reprint." You may have also heard it referred to as "the second printing" or "the third printing," etc. The book is the same as the original, with the exception of fixed typos

Imprints refer to impressions made into a softer substrate, such as sand, snow, mud or even plaster. Once the object, often a foot or hand, is removed a depression is formed, where the loose material was displayed. Imprints can last just a few days, like footprints in the snow, or they can hang around for millions of years, as in the case of ancient fossils.
