Perth Has Officially Become 300% More Cunt

There are moments in publishing that deserve champagne.

Winning a literary prize. Landing on the bestseller list. Being adapted into a Netflix series starring people with Colgate white teeth.

Then there are moments that are somehow even better.

Like walking into any Planet Books in Perth and spotting Everyone's a Cunt sitting proudly on the shelf.

Not just one store. Not two. All three. Mt Lawley. Northbridge. Cottesloe.

Apparently, Planet Books looked at our book and collectively decided Perth could handle the truth.

Bold.

Three Stores. One Very Honest Book.

You know what they say. Location, location, location.

Whether you're grabbing a coffee in Mt Lawley, pretending you're buying "something intellectual" in Northbridge, or wandering through Cottesloe after convincing yourself you'll "just have a quick look," there's now a very good chance you'll stumble across a big black hardback quietly judging humanity alongside the classics.

Honestly, we couldn't ask for better neighbours.

One shelf over, you've got Nobel Prize winners.

One shelf over the other way, you've got a cookbook explaining the emotional benefits of fermented cabbage.

And right in the middle?

A book that simply says what everyone else is thinking. That’s balance.

The Book You Pick Up "As a Joke"

We've watched people discover Everyone's a Cunt in bookshops.

The process is surprisingly consistent.

Step one: Spot the title.

Step two: Laugh.

Step three: Look around to make sure nobody saw you laugh.

Step four: Open a random page.

Step five: Accidentally read three more.

Step six: Carry it around the shop while pretending you're still deciding.

Step seven: Buy it.

The only variation is whether you tell the person at the counter it's for yourself or "a mate."

Statistically speaking, that mate doesn't exist.

Planet Books Gets It

Independent bookshops don't become institutions by playing it safe.

They become institutions because they're willing to stock books that surprise people.

Books that start conversations. Books that don't fit neatly into a category.

Everyone's a Cunt is satire, social commentary, coffee table entertainment, and a public test of your ability to keep a straight face all at once.

The team at Planet Books could have filled those spaces with another celebrity memoir or a mindfulness journal featuring a pebble on the cover.

Instead, they gave shelf space to a book that has caused strangers to laugh loudly enough to attract curious onlookers.

We respect that kind of decision making.

A Public Service Announcement

If you see someone standing in Planet Books giggling to themselves while reading Everyone's a Cunt, please don't interrupt them.

They're either:

• Looking for their boss.
• Looking for their brother-in-law.
• Looking for themselves.
• Finding all three on the same page.

This is a completely normal side effect.

A Huge Thanks to Planet Books

To everyone at Planet Books, thank you for backing independent publishing and proving that great bookshops aren't afraid of a title that raises eyebrows before it raises laughs.

Having Everyone's a Cunt stocked in Mt Lawley, Northbridge and Cottesloe is something we're incredibly proud of.

Not because we're taking ourselves too seriously.

Quite the opposite.

Because every great city deserves at least one book that reminds us we're all flawed, endlessly entertaining, and occasionally the reason someone muted the group chat.

So next time you're browsing the shelves at Planet Books, do yourself a favour.

Pick up the big black book.

Read one page.

We apologise for what happens next.

But it really is your own fault.
