📦 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 Trial of the Dyer — Guillaume Maret's cloth was cleared by the Lyon guild — the charge of selling inferior cloth to Bernard Vidal was examined and dismissed. He stands in the street outside the guild hall in January 1310 holding a verdict he knows is correct and a doubt he knows he suppressed. The story is about what a man does when the system reaches the right answer for the wrong reason.
