If you can’t get to the bookstore, the bookstore can come to you. That’s the reminder from some independent book sellers in Vancouver as concerns about COVID-19 ramp up and residents are increasingly staying home to protect their health and the health of others.
Chris Brayshaw, owner of Pulpfiction Books, which has outlets on Main Street, West Broadway and Commercial Drive, said his three stores will remain open for regular hours for the foreseeable future, but he took to social media this week to remind clients of services the store has provided for years.
His staff have been, and will continue to, take orders by phone, via email and on social media through platforms such as Twitter. Orders are mailed at cost, but are free for ones over $50. Pulpfiction can also hand-deliver anywhere from Pemberton to Hope, a service that’s free for orders over $50.
“It’s kind of business as usual, but I thought it was probably a good idea to reiterate that because a lot of people seem to be off work or off school or are at home looking after kids, and [might be thinking], ‘Oh my god, it's hard. I'm trapped in my house, in my apartment, and I can't go out and pick stuff up,’” Brayshaw said.
