30th Anniversary Editions of Christine and Pet Sematary - PS Publishing

Well, I need an HC of Carrie, so I'm probably in for that one at least.

I was lucky in that when I stated reading King as a ten when Pet Semetary came out, I was able to order the hardbacks of the earlier ones (missed Night Shift). So, they are later printings, but are still at least the original edition.

Based on those pics alone, I think I might cave in and get Carrie, Thinner and Skeleton Crew.

Those pictures of Christine have me double thinking my stance on not getting the anniversary editions from PS! Such a great looking book!

Are you just trying to make us more jealous and anxious?

The photographs don't do it enough justice, it is indeed a truly awesome book. I am really looking forward to Pet Sematary, as this too will have brilliant art work and the same production values as Christine.

Yes, thanks for posting this. It does look great without the lettering and I like that the art on the book boards is different than the slipcase, two awesome pieces.

I spoke to Pete today at PS Publishing and amongst other things, we discussed the cover art for Pet Sematary. I can confirm that like Christine, only the dust jacket will have the lettering included. The Board cover of Pet Sematary will be exactly the same image but without any of the lettering so that the art work will not be obscured. I will post photographs of my copy of Christine showing the dust jacket and the board cover without the lettering as an example of what to expect with Pet Sematary.

Trust me, Christine is such an awesome book, you will not be disappointed with Pet Sematary.

The art for both of those Pet Sematary covers is eerie but also somewhat dull, the artist has said on another forum that he shied away from featuring the cat on the cover because of the original hardback and that he wanted to do something more subtle, I am all for subtly but do the words Stephen King and Pet Sematary bring about images of a subtle nature? Forgetting the artwork for a second, the font is bad and I said so on another forum and was called an amateur for complaining, this may be so but even an amateur knows a crap font we he sees it, the book appears to be sold out at the publisher and good for them, it's something of a moot point now, still don't know if I will try to get one on the secondary market or not, maybe if one comes up well below the original asking price

Well I like both. But I agree with everything everyone said..
