Alan Sheardown, Manager of Planet Books, has put together a stunning store there in Mt Lawley, just outside of Perth. Here is a description of the operation, I am not sure I could better…

“Planet Video was established mid 1990 by a couple of frustrated fans of popular culture (slackers) who realized that if they wanted a library of film that contained everything available – especially arthouse, cult & classic titles – they would have to do it themselves.

The business now extends over 1000 square metres of floor space and retails film, music, books and associated products, as well as holding Australia’s most extensive library of film, documentaries, performance and television. In theory if you come to Planet you can watch the film, hear the soundtrack, play the game, buy the poster and read the script or buy the book it was based upon – soon with a cup of coffee in the cafe that will adjoin the bookshop. In the meantime, take the virtual tour, we hope you enjoy!”

I only recently discovered their blog too and have had to put it at the top of my pop culture blogs on my google hompage…

And naturally they have been huge Ballistic fans, appealing to the vibrant art community there in Perth.  Thanks for these great pics Ken!
