Definition of term:: Reprint

• Later printings of a book, or something you usually don't want if you are a first edition collector. You can read them though. There are two common exceptions among collectors: 1) textually or artistically significant reprints, in which academics and die-hard collectors will take an interest, and 2) signed or inscribed reprints, which, if the author rarely signed or the association is particularly notable, can command healthy interest and/or prices.
