📦 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 Missing Saint — The statue of Saint Brendan has been in the alcove beside the hostel gate at Santiago de Compostela since before anyone currently employed there can remember, and on the morning of the feast of Saint Brendan in 1150, Brother Tomás goes to clean the alcove and finds it empty. The hostel master Brother Anselmo has seen most things and concluded that most things were manageable — this may or may not be one of them.
