📦 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 Shore — Benedetto Grimaldi has rounded the cape a dozen times in twenty years of the eastern trade and knows that the right side has a sheltered cove and the wrong side has rocks. His ship is on the wrong side, the rocks, in 1185, and the cargo of spices, silk, and copper fittings is worth considerable money to people who are expecting it. What can still be saved, and at what cost, is what the story follows.
