I got a couple of great looking titles recently of 50s paperbacks - haven't read them yet but savouring the chance - titles like 'Those who are about to die ...' 'The Gladiator' (Not the Koestler) And the novel Sign of the Pagan on which the film was based. (not sure if its one of those novels of the film but it doesn't say so). Also tracked down a copy of Perdue's Slave and Master(?).<br>

I'll let you know - but I'm not holding my breath for quality!<br>
