WHAT DOES OUT OF PRINT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Out of print

Out of print refers to an item, typically a book, but can include any print or visual medium or sound recording, that is no longer being published. The abbreviation OOP is a more general term that encompasses craft, hobby, toy, and collectable items that are out of production. An item goes out of print when a publisher does not reprint, re-press, or reissue after all copies have been sold to retailers. Reasons may include: ▪ the perception of the publisher that continuing to produce the work is no longer a commercially viable venture, i.e. that there is no longer a market for it ▪ a limited print run ▪ antiquation, or the obsolescence of content or format ▪ plans for a revised or reformatted edition ▪ the presence of errors, flaws, fabrication, offensive content, or plagiarism ▪ banning or censorship ▪ intellectual property obstacles, such as the expiration of a publisher's license to release content owned by another copyright holder. For example, a novelization of a film that was released 10 years ago is likely to go OOP for this reason. See licensing section in The Criterion Collection article for an example.
