TBS  The Book Service, A U.K. book distribution service, often incorrectly named as the publisher of Tandem Books. TBS is still a distribution service, part of Penguin Random House.
Title page  The title page, near the beginning of the book, lists the title and subtitle of the book, the authors, editors, and/or contributors, the publisher or printer, and sometimes the place and date of publication.
Trade paperback  Sometimes referred to as a "trade paper edition" or just "trades", is a standard-sized or large-sized paperback book. If it is a softcover edition of a previous hardcover edition, and if published by the same publishing house as the hardcover, the text pages are normally identical to the text pages in the hardcover edition, and the book is essentially the same size as the hardcover edition. Significantly, the pagination is the same so that references to the text will be unchanged: this is particularly important for reviewers and scholars. The only difference is the soft binding; the quality of the paper is usually higher than that of a mass-market paperback. Trade paperbacks are typically priced less than hardcover books and higher than mass-market paperbacks. Virtually all advance copies sent for promotional and review purposes are issued in trade paperback format. Trade paperback is a pretty loose category of books, they can range from 8.5 x 5.5 inches (216 x 140mm) to 9 x 6 inches (229 x 152mm).
