A book's "imprint" is simply the publisher's statement usually found on the
bottom of the title page or its verso: i.e. the place(s) of publication,
publisher's name(s), year of publication and/or copyright (if different).
It's all the information a book store would need to special order a
particular edition of a title--especially if there's no ISBN available. The
imprint of our old friend TKD (2nd ed.) is: New York, London (etc.):
Pocket Books, 1992. The term surely derives from the early days of
printing, when a book's printer and publisher were the same (as, in fact,
they still are for many small presses).
