Hello, it's delivery!
Two Oslo bookshop owners choose to go delivery-only to keep their business afloat at the start of lockdown. Pil Cappelen Smith and Anders Cappelen deliver books wearing full hazmat suits and gas masks in order to raise local awareness of the seriousness of the situation. But as the global crisis worsens, they embarkon one last delivery run before deciding to shut up shop completely.
My neighbours probably think I'm getting tested for corona because of the hazmat suits. But it's just a book.
For someone living by themselves this quickly becomes lonely. So you have to have something to not go crazy. Books are what works for me.
