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 Stonecutter's Mark — Gilbert Aubert has been cutting stone for forty-one years, and in 1228 the vaults of Chartres stand, the roof is on, and there is still work to be done on the transept portals — work that will outlast him. A craftsman's mark in the stone is not a signature; it is a claim that a particular block was dressed by a particular pair of hands. What that mark costs to leave, and what it means to the man who leaves it, is what the story asks.
