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:
"
A revised Student Edition of Lorraine Hansberry's iconic 1959 play - the first play produced on Broadway to be written by a Black woman.
Alongside the play text itself, this edition contains commentary and notes by Isaiah Wooden, which consider the play's:
> socio-historical context (including the Jim Crow laws and racial segregation in the US)
> major themes (including African-American identity, property ownership, and emergent Black feminist politics)
> structure and devices (including mid-20th century reality family dramas, ""genuine realism"" and Hansberry's use of music, dance and song in the play)
> production history (from the premiere production to the 2014 Broadway revival starring Denzel Washington and LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Dawn Walton's 2016 UK touring production)
> engagement with the play (including contemporary ""response"" pieces such as Neighbors by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris and Beneatha's Place by Kwame Kwei-Armah)
The notes section at the back of the edition contains definitions of terminology used in the play with which students may not be familiar.
Overall, this edition helps students to make sense of Hansberry's play and its politics through a contemporary lens, in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, and in line with current debates around race, gender and class.
