π¦ 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 Mender of Nets β Luka BariΔ has been mending nets on the Dalmatian Coast for fifty years and is seventy-one in 1508. His hands are the problem β not always and not entirely, but in certain conditions, only at the high-frequency work at the knots. He has told no one. The nets come to his door, the men leave them and go, and the story is about what a craftsman does when the instrument he works with begins to fail before the work is finished.
