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 Cost of Truthfulness — The chambers of the notarial guild occupy the second floor of a narrow palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal. Caterina arrived before dawn, as is her custom, to prepare the day's materials and light the brazier. She is the only woman working in the guild chambers. The document she has been asked to witness today contains a figure she knows to be wrong — not by much, but by enough that it would matter to the party who cannot read the Latin.
