What do 'Is by' and 'Has by' mean? - The book's by T.C. Smith. What is that ['s] in that sentence? Is it 'Is' or 'Has'? So, - The book is by T.C. Smith. - The book has by T.C. Smith. Would someone please tell me what 'Is by' and 'has by' mean? I see that sentence here: http://goo.gl/GlzOkf

The book is by T C Smith. The verb 'has' would make no sense here.

It's "is". "By" signifies who created it, so it means the book was written by T.C. Smith. A lot of things can be "by" someone or something, like songs, books, clothes, etc.
