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 Merchant's Nephew — The debt is simple: Pieter van Houten owes Claes Dekker eleven livres and four sous from last autumn's cloth order. The journey to collect it is not simple. Claes sends his nephew Willem, who is not yet sure what kind of merchant he is going to be, into a Bruges that turns out to require more than a good memory for numbers.
