📦 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 Wrong Merchant — Two men named Konstantinos arrive at the cloth market of Constantinople's Mese on the same morning, each expecting to meet the same dye merchant — and Philippos's apprentice Alexios seats them both at the wrong table. The mistake is small. The consequences are not. In a commercial world where reputation travels faster than correction, Alexios discovers that fixing an error and living with it are two different problems.
