BARSTOW, Stan. The Watchers on the Shore. London: Michael Joseph. 1966. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s brown cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Ivan Lapper. A near fine example, the cloth clean and bright, the backstrip perhaps a trifle creased vertically, minor. The contents clean and fine, light spots to textblock top edge. The dust jacket unclipped, a couple of small closed tears and gentle rubbing to extremities, but a sharp copy overall.
Barstow’s sequel to A Kind of Loving, published six years later, and following the two protagonists into their London life, through marriage and self-affirmation. The final volume was The Right True End (1976).
