Covid-19 policy at HappenStance Press, March 2020

A few words of reassurance:

All HappenStance materials sent out to customers are touched only by Matt or myself. They have been in boxes usually for weeks or months (or years) before despatch, so virus-free. The only theoretical risk is from ourselves, while preparing them for despatch. To keep ourselves safe, we are observing strict social distancing, with no visitors to the house. We shop no more than once a week for items we can’t get online, and wash carefully as soon as we re-enter the house, and before handling goods for despatch. If you still feel concerned about risk (though we have no reason to believe we have, or have had, Covid-19), you could leave books untouched for 72 hours after they arrive. By the time you open them and read the contents, the pages will be risk-free. They will not infect you with anything other than (we hope) an enthusiasm for their contents. —Helena Nelson (Nell)
