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.
The Belt — Diego's father's hands move with the rhythm of thirty years' practice, the burnishing bone sliding across the leather with a sound like whispered prayers. The belt is good work — the leather took the dye even and deep, the tooling of vines and crosses pressed in before the color. The leather does not care, his father once said, who paid for it or what prayers were spoken over it. Diego is about to find out what that means.
