📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
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 Year — The astronomer Ismail ibn Yusuf has kept his observation log for thirty-one years without a single night's entry missing. In the autumn of his fifty-third year he understands that he will not keep it for thirty-two. What remains is the question of what a life's work means when the person who did it can no longer complete it — and who the log belongs to after he is gone.
