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 Unfinished Thread — The wool keeps everything the hands put into it. Marguerite's mother always said it the way she said most things — while working, without looking up, so the saying and the doing were the same motion. Drawing the thread through half-finished cloth in Ghent, 1448, Marguerite tries to believe it, because if it's true, what she puts into this cloth matters more than she knew.
