For example, if you buy a poster and a big heavy book or a large flat print - those items don't exactly pack together well and may need to be shipped separately.

Brand new book of traditional rope bondage by Hajime Kinoko titled "Hanafuda Kinbaku". The entire book follows the format of a deck of Hanafuda playing cards. A new girl for each month featured in a setting of that month's flower or plant (according to Hanafuda cards). Very artistic and beautiful book!
