📦 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 Red Work — The lacquer bowls came back in October, three of them with lifting lacquer, with a letter of complaint. Mei had made them in spring. When her colleague Shu gives the client's agent an explanation that is not quite accurate, Mei sits in the chair and watches Shu say something that is not true and feels the wrongness of it and opens her mouth and nothing comes out, and by the time the silence ends it is too late.
