Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
In trying to 1. get all the King "stuff" in one room and 2. organize it; it has started to dawn on me about variant DJ's. I only recently learned of the Insomina variant - and I'm betting there may be more than the few I know about (Pet Sem; Tommyknockers;UTD.) I did notice in checking the 1st editions section both of the Insomina variants are shown - is it possible to show all the others? I'd like to know if and what I may be missing...

Pet Sematary has two dust wrappers? I never heard of this.

Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
Well, let me explain what I have. I have both the "in 1982" and "in 1983" DJ's. The spines and price are different -but the books are both first editions.
So unless the 1983 DJ is really suppose to be on a second edition - I just figured it was variant DJ on the first edition. Sorta like I read there are three variants for Salem's Lot? Am I way out in left field?

The info I have about Pet Sematary is that both dust jackets should have the $15.95 price.

Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
My Pet Sematary (a 1st/1st) has "in 1982" and is priced $15.95. I never heard of the "in 1983" jacket and find this very interesting.
Salems 'Lot has 3 dust jackets:
The first is priced $8.95 with the "Father Cody" error on the inside flap.
The second is the same as the first, but price-clipped and a $7.95 sticker (EDIT - stamp, not a sticker!) affixed to the jacket.
The third is priced $7.95 with the error fixed as "Father Callahan.
I only have the first one, which is kind of rare.

Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
The 1982 jacket is the first state, the 1983 is the second state. I bought the book the day it came out and mine has the 1982 date. I've never been too motivated to get the other. I don't know which is more scarce.
Are you sure you have the $8.95 jacket? That one is ultra-rare. The second one, with the price-clipped, has the $7.95 price printed on it, not a sticker. I have one of each of the last two.

Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
Sorry about the mis-information about the sticker vs the printed price on the 2nd state SL dust jacket. Way back when I bought my first state (yes I'm sure it's a first) I figured the price-clipped one would be easy to get and I'd buy it later. That's the same mistake I've made many times since!
I also bought Pet Sematary within 3 days of it's release. I think I may pursue that 2nd state jacket though, just for the heck of it. Another question - Is the 2nd state dust jacket on the 1st or 2nd printing?

Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
Well, that answers my question. I bought mine with the 1982 jacket when it came out - I must have picked up the other one at used bookstore, but thanks to you guys, I know it's not the "second" or "variant" DJ - the price is 19.95 altho the book itself is a first - so I guess I too will be looking for the other.
Now, about Bag of Bones...just kidding!

Re: Ask and ye shall recieve
It's on the 1st printing, and all subsequent printings. Only the DJ changed, due to the mistake of printing 1982 for "Caretakers".ur2ndbiggestfan wrote: Another question - Is the 2nd state dust jacket on the 1st or 2nd printing?
