A journal has a season and issue number.
A book has a year for the date, as well as Publication details,
such as the city and publisher.

-Then it was printed in another book
-It is now available online

The reprint book
1. We can tell it was a reprint because we have both publication
and source information.
2. We can tell they are both books because they both include
publication information with city, publisher and year.

4. Additionally, if you scroll to the bottom of the article, you will
see the citation. The notation “Rpt.” indicates this was reprinted.
Oftentimes, the bottom citation will make the source
information clearer than the top information.

5. Since the original publication format is book, begin your
citation with “Book.”

6. Here is where you tell NoodleTools that your book
has been reprinted. Select “Reprint or excerpt of
material from one book in another book.”
