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 Measure of the Shore — Mapping the coast is not the same as looking at it. João has looked at this stretch of shore his whole life, has fished its southern points with his uncle, has watched from the headland on clear days when you can see the Canary Islands like bruises in the far water. Master Álvaro gives him the survey chain: three days, Sagres to the first anchorage, don't miss anything. João discovers that the shore he thought he knew is not the shore that exists.
