Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these books actually real?
Very much so! You can view a video of the book itself on each product page.
Which book makes the right gag gift?
Choose the word for the recipient and the setting. BOLLOCKS and BULLSHIT focus on familiar expressions and everyday nonsense; WANKER and DICKHEAD are personal insults. The strongest titles are only for people who already enjoy that humour. Browse the collection and see inside before deciding.
Are these books genuinely about the various titles? 'Cunt', 'Dickhead', 'Wanker' etc?
Each title is a mock-scholarly humour book built around the word on its cover. Chapters, quotations, footnotes and grand academic claims are part of the joke. These are entertaining paperbacks, not reliable academic reference works. See the interior previews on the book pages before choosing.
Do the books contain actual written content inside?
Yes! They are not some cheap lined notebook with an offensive cover. These are the real deal. You can view a video of the book itself on each product page.
Are they only available on Amazon?
The buy buttons on this site open the existing regional Amazon book links. Check the edition, current price and delivery estimate on Amazon before ordering. For retailer or wholesale enquiries, visit Become a Stockist.
I've searched for 'Cunt' on Amazon and cannot find it?
Amazon is a bit prudish about CUNT: The Odyssey of a Word and does not always show it in search results. If you search for The Odyssey of a Word or some of the other titles, you should find them. Then, from within those listings, you can click Part of: The Odyssey of a Word (24 books) and Cunt will be revealed in all its glory.
Do you offer wholesale or stockist options?
Yes. Retailers, gift shops, bookshops and other trade buyers can use the Become a Stockist page to request access to trade information.
Are they meant to be taken seriously?
It's up to you. You can be sat on public transport reading one of these with a very serious expression and you will cause offence and laughter in equal measure.
