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 Last Boat Out — The boat leaves Alexandria at the second hour before dawn, and Callinicus has three hours. He is not a man who panics, and he does not panic now — he makes a list of what can be carried and what cannot, and begins with what cannot. In 415 AD, a librarian in a city that is no longer safe decides what is worth saving and what saving it will cost.
