biblatex-apa handles reprinted book chapters using the biber "related" mechanism (as in the APA 10.1:11, 10.3:43, and 10.3:44 examples in the biblatex-apa-test... files). For reprints with a journal article source ("article" bibtex entry type), this works well (thanks!).
But if the source of a reprinted book chapter is itself a book chapter (as in the APA 10.3:44 example), it appears that the reprint's "related" citekey must refer to a "book" bibtex entry instead of an "inbook" (or "incollection") entry. E.g., if the biblatex-apa-test-references.bib file entry for 10.3:44r is changed from type "book" to type "incollection" (adjusting title fields accordingly), then the reprinted-from component of the output reference entry for 10.3:44 becomes "(Reprinted from )": No reference information for the source of the reprint is shown at all. (Notably, the citation for the entry still correctly shows the source's date as well as the reprint's date (e.g., "Bronfenbrenner (1973/2005)" for 10.3:44.)
This is problematic b/c the "book" bibtex entry needed for the source information is an atypical "book" entry (e.g., it should include a "pages" field), and thus it's not really suitable as the entry for an independent citation of the book itself. It is additionally a seemingly-unnecessary duplication of the "incollection" entry that would be used/needed to cite the actual source chapter independently if one wished to do so.
Wouldn't it be much more straightforward to process source information for reprinted chapters from "incollection" entries instead?
