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 Discipline of Attention — The gold leaf lies flat between sheets of vellum, thinner than breath itself, more fragile than the first ice on the abbey pond. There is a kind of work that requires the whole person — not effort alone, but the stilling of everything that is not the task. Brigid studies the leaf in the gray dawn light, knowing that one careless movement will crumple it to golden dust that no craft can restore. Prime bells ring within the hour.
