📦 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 Sealed Letter — A mate carried what he was given, and it arrived as it left him — that was the whole of what a mate was, and Jan had built his entire worth on that one plain fact. He cannot see how to remain that man and save them both. On the Guinea Coast in 1700, the smallest part of being trustworthy turns out to be the foundation of everything else.
