To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
Penitence Without Performance — The staves are in the wrong order. Margaret sees it the moment she walks into the shop — her father's staves for the commission barrel, sorted by width and laid out on the bench in the sequence he left them, except they are not in that sequence now. She knocked them with her elbow two nights ago, reaching past them for the lamp, and put them back wrong in the dark. Her father will be home from the mill by evening.
