Identification Points
Notes
BCEs are extremely common. True firsts have Y38 gutter code and scarlet endpapers. Large print run makes this one of the more findable early King first editions. Note that for many true first editions of Pet Semetary, it is difficult to see the full "Y38" gutter code; often the "8" is set too deep into the gutter margin to be visible.
