📦 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 Captain's Chart — Captain James Fellowes has been navigating at sea for more than thirty years when he finds the error on a Tuesday in the South Atlantic in 1741 — the kind of error that is there in the way errors are there when you finally look, structural and obvious. He has been sailing a ghost ship for three weeks, his vessel placed in the charts in the wrong position. The question is not how to correct it but what the error cost while it went unfound.
