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 Woman Who Kept Accounts — Caterina's husband dies at vespers on a Thursday in Florence in 1430, and by the time the neighbors have gone home and the candles are set, she is at the desk doing what she does on every Thursday evening — checking the wool trade accounts. What she finds in the ledger is not what she was looking for, and the question of what to do with it is the question of what she is now that he is gone.
