Links

These are some links which you might find useful. As I find others, I will add them. But there are very few resources on the Web about Stan Barstow - that is one of the reasons I did this site!

Other web sites about Stan Barstow

Britannica entry on Stan Barstow
Not that there's very much there. And unless you happen to be using Internet Explorer, you won't get the full article in any case. But I'm quite pleased that they do link back to this site (though you won't be able to see that unless you've got a paid subscription to them).

Second hand books

abebooks.co.uk
probably the best source of second-hand books on the Internet - my personal favourite. I've added a link to ABE to all the book pages to do a single-click search. (This site is affiliated to abebooks.co.uk, and I earn a small percentage if you buy books via these links.)
Bibliofind
used to run ABE a very close second - but it is now just an offshoot of Amazon, and I only use it as a last resort.
alibris
also a superb source of second hand books - but generally a bit more pricy than the other two, as they buy the books, add a markup and sell them on to you.
www.ebay.co.uk
is always worth a look.

Films, TV programs and radio plays

The Internet Movie Database
if you can't find out about a film here, it probably can't be found anywhere.
Radio Plays
This is Nigel and Alison Deacon's wonderful resource about radio plays; it includes a section about Stan Barstow's radio plays.
A Kind of Loving
The 1961 film is easily available on video or DVD; the 1982 TV series is not available in any format - please click on this link to sign the on-line petition to Granada TV to get the series released on video.
