📦 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 Wool Merchant's Ledger — Pieter van der Hoeven built his Bruges wool trade on meticulous accounts, and the middle of his three sons has spent fourteen years giving every impression of being unable to receive information from the world accurately. The accounts are the life of the business, and Joris cannot be trusted with them — except that Pieter is beginning to understand he may have been measuring his son with the wrong instrument.
