📦 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 Saint — Luca Greco has sold relics in Rome for long enough to know that the provenance of a bone is a matter of documentation, not verification — and the documentation he has for the bone of Saint Methodius is entirely satisfactory. The problem is that he has sold the same saint's bone to two different buyers, and the Bishop of Verona is coming to Rome, and both bones cannot be right.
