📦 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.
What the Ledger Does Not Record — Sitt al-Wuzara has kept her late husband's bookshop in ninth-century Baghdad for six years. The ledger records what was bought and what was paid — but not that Ibrahim the scribe buys twice as much paper before his daughter's wedding, or that certain families' orders fall away every February. Sitt al-Wuzara keeps the knowledge that the ledger cannot hold in a different kind of record entirely.
