I expect "t.s." refers to The Stand, but I've never taken note of that before. The first edition was $12.95, so you obviously have something much later. However, you can't go by the dust jacket alone, as they can easily be removed and replaced.
t.s refers to trade size, not the stand. It was a trade size edition that's why I had problems locating the information. Which actually is a little less common but not as valuable as a first

Hi, and welcome to the Board.
I'd go peruse FAQs. I'm wondering if the reference to the trade size isn't a special edition of it, maybe for a bookclub. I know the dj covers tend to be different for bookclub printings, but I'm no expert on first editions, private editions, morning editions, concise editions.....okay, I'll shut up now. You get the point. A different trade size to me conveys that it was a special printing of some kind for the story, so.....maybe it was circulated to a specific market?

I don't know.
