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.

MoreLong description:
A stunningly designed review of the greatest album cover designs, spanning the classic period from the 1950s to the 1970s, Album Cover Album" first hit the bestseller charts in 1977. This led to the release of six follow-up hits inspired a host of imitations and generated a long-playing sub-genre in art and design publishing. "Album Cover Album" is edited and compiled by two designers who were among the most innovative pioneers of the work that it celebrates. Storm Thorgerson's Hipgnosis earned world renown for the epic photo shoots and iconic designs that went so perfectly with the music of Pink Floyd. Meanwhile Roger Dean's dreamscapes and unique typography became as much a part of the rock generation as the Yes albums they adorned. "Album Cover Album" features their selection of more than 600 sleeves in full color and showcases the astonishing diversity and excellence of design that the medium produced in its first three decades. This new edition retains the lavish 12-inch format of the original and replays the ingeniously themed compositions of each page. The album is given a fresh spin by a new preface from Peter Gabriel and new forewords by Storm Thorgerson and John Wetton plus a 21st-century typographic facelift. The result is a celebration of the enduring appeal of vinyl."
