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

I completely agree. I loved the somber menace of the original cover for Pet Sematary.

Goode example. I love the limited of Weaveworld.

I have nothing against the art, it is nice. So why cover it up with all that stuff? Squire posted photos of Barker's Weaveworld anniversary edition and I love what they did with the dustjacket - beautiful art and not a word to clutter it. This is what I would like to see them do with these special editions. Wouldn't the cover look awesome with just the painting of Arnie/Christine and the Pet Sematary?

Here is the original cover art for Pet Sematary. Personally I don't know what the fuss is about, I much prefer the new version. I thought the old version had too much green in it, which made it look bland.

It's a mess. They should have used the font for "Pet Sematary" the same as the one used on the spine. And they should move the Introduction and Afterword mentions to the back. Just like with Christine, they are overloading the front with too much stuff, ruining the art and making it look like an ad. Not to knock them but how many people are buying it because they see the names of these contributors? Probably none.

I agree completely.

Hmm. Did PS change the planned cover of PS? Was it mentioned here and I just missed it?

How tall is it? I know years back a good number of PS books were pretty short in height. I expect/hope they would not do that with a King title.

I just measured the book and it's 8½ inches tall. It is a bit short compared to other Hardback books that I have, but it still looks stunning!

Wow congrats on the book, I guess it's looking likely I'll see mine before Christmas.
