📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
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 Bone Setter of Dalmatia — A man is brought to Luka Dragić's door in Split in 1600 in the small hours after fighting, with a dislocated shoulder Luka can see from the door before they bring him through it — more than two decades of setting shoulders. He lets them bring him in. The story is about the attention the shoulder requires, which is all of his attention, the same he brings to every patient, because the shoulder does not care about the history between them.
