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 Letter That Was Not Sent — Kenji Harada runs a copying studio in Edo in 1700 and has built his entire professional worth on a single fact: what he was given, he reproduced, and it arrived as it left him. The commission that comes in November is to copy a letter in the hand of a man writing to someone he will never see again — and Kenji, holding the original, finds he is being asked to do something more than copy.
