Imprints

• What is the Imprint ? As a piece of 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.

From the above meaning we use imprint as a trade name under which a work is published. So one single publishing company may have multiple imprints.
