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.

Short description:
In 1985 Julian Evans fulfilled for himself what is every forester's ambition - the purchase of his own patch of woodland to develop, manage, and enjoy exactly as he thought fit. Combining anecdote, natural history, and professional wisdom in a gripping and readable account, this is the story of the woodland. It offers a factual account of the purchase and management of the wood runs alongside a description of the people, events, and incidents associated with it. There are accounts of replanting, encounters with gamekeepers and roe deer, the drama of two great gales, and the selling of timber. Fine cameo line drawings by John White, artist and forester, illustrate the text.
MoreLong description:
In 1985 the author fulfilled for himself every forester's ambition - ownership of a woodland to manage and enjoy exactly as he thought fit. With his brother-in-law, he bought a neglected woodland in Hampshire and, with the help of family and friends, has brought it back to a working woodland, employing a combination of ancient and modern rural skills. A Wood of Our Own tells the story of all that has happened since the idea germinated: making the purchase, replanting, encounters with people and animals, the drama of two great gales, unravelling the history of the wood, and selling the timber.
Julian Evans, forester for twenty-five years, author of two professional forestry books, and currently Chief Research Officer for the Forestry Commission, combines anecdote, natural history, and professional wisdom in a gripping story. The factual account of the purchase and management of the wood runs alongside an entertaining description of the people, events, and incidents associated with it. Fine cameo line drawings by John White, artist and forester, accompany the text.
This small book, written in an appealingly modest tone...is full of practical and scientific detail explained in straightforward terms.
