Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Craft has a complex past. It is woven into the histories of materials, techniques and technologies, but also the histories of gender, class, politics, production, and consumption. The distinctions between craft practices - from the studio to the trade to the amateur - and the relationship of craft with art, design and technology have also altered the history of its practice.
A Cultural History of Craft presents the first comprehensive history of the subject. The work is divided into 6 volumes, with each volume covering the same topics, so readers can either study a period/volume or follow a topic across history. The 6 volumes cover: Antiquity (c.800 BCE-500 CE); the Medieval Age (500-1450); the Renaissance (1450-1650); the Age of Enlightenment (1650?1800); the Age of Industry (1800-1920); the Modern Age (1920-present).
Themes (and chapter titles) are: concepts and perceptions of craft; society and politics; trade and exchange; fibres, textiles & dress; building and construction; ceramics and glass; woodworking and furniture; metal and jewelry; painting, graphics, printing and paper; representations of crafts
The page extent for the pack is approximately 1,916pp. Each volume opens with notes on contributors and an introduction and concludes with notes, bibliography, and an index.
