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 Book That Came Back — Brother Cillian has been forty-three years in the monastery at Cluain Mór when the manuscript comes back, and he recognizes it immediately by the oak boards he cut and fitted himself when he was thirty-six and the work was in its first phase. He is sixty-seven now. The manuscript left during the Viking raid of 900 AD, and what it carries back with it — marks, additions, evidence of a life in other hands — is more than he expected.
