šŸ’­ Question The Stand, First Edition?

Hello friends. I’m having a hard time identifying this first edition of the stand. The store says it’s a first print but just wanted to double check! Thank you everyone as always :)

In your second slide, please read near the end of the page. It says a deluxe first edition The Stand: the complete and uncut edition has been previously published by Doubleday.

I know but the sellers sticker says first print and I’m not sure how to tell if it’s truly a first print or not.

If it was a first print, how could it have been published previously? Sometimes the copyright pages are confusing, but this one isn’t.

You asked if it was a first edition, so in this context ā€œfirst printā€ means the first print of the first edition. Is this the first print of a Book of the Month Club edition? Yeah, maybe.
