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 Bridge of Broken Stone — Build the bridge the stone will give you. Ah Sheng has been at the riverbank since before light, sorting stone the river didn't take, and by the time the sun clears the ridge he has three piles and is pleased with none of them. The good stone is gone — and a bridge still has to be built in southern China, 1190.
