📦 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 Weight of Telling — Demetria is checking her own copying when her eye moves to the next column and finds a word that is not right — not a transposition, not a letter switched, but a different word that changes the meaning of the passage in a way that matters. The error is in an official church record. The person whose name is affected is dead. The person who made the error is the scriptorium's senior monk.
