The third Phil Andros (pseudonym of Samuel M. Steward, 1909-1993) book seized during the raids, this erotic novel is set in Rome where Andros meets and has sex with a range of characters, some of whom are described on the back cover, including “a sexton with a feeling for ritual” and “a carabiniere in black boots”. The book was first published in 1971 by the pulp publisher Gay Parisian Press under the title ‘When in Rome, Do...’ In keeping with his tendency to merge fact and fiction, Steward has dedicated this book to another of his alter egos, Ward Stames. This copy has an inscription from Andros to Gay’s the Word which refers to supposedly ‘obscene’ Roman classical works held at the British Museum.
