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 Borrowed Ox — The ox came back on a Tuesday, which was when Miriam first noticed it was the wrong one. Or rather: it was when she first heard her husband say it was the wrong one, and paused in her bread-making to look at the animal standing in their yard, and thought: Amos has lost his mind. Their neighbor's field needs plowing. The plowing season does not wait for men to agree on which ox is which.
