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.

A good introductory American politics textbook that applies a racial lens to the issues...focus on race in every aspect of American politics rather than as a niche topic."
