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:
The first supplement of the American National Biography, which was originally published in twenty-four volumes at the end of 1998, will put into print new articles added to the ANB'S online edition since June 2000. As part of what is now a standard reference work, with sales of more than 4,500 sets to the library market, the initial supplementary volume will be in strong demand from previous purchasers of the ANB. The majority of the 491 new articles concern figures who have died since the end of 1995, the cutoff date for inclusion in the original print edition. The supplement will also fill in gaps in the original twenty-four volume edition with articles on people of note who died before 1996. Supplement 1 will be followed by future volumes covering three-to-five-year spans that will extend the ANB's coverage from the year 2000 onward.
MoreLong description:
Told more as stories than history lessons, the biographies in the American National Biography, Supplement 1 recount the tales of people who have shaped America--leaders, composers, entertainers, entrepreneurs, writers, scientists, and outlaws. Each tale is written by an expert in the field and masterfully woven together to present the most accurate and up-to-date information.
As the first in a series of three supplements to be produced over the next three years, this volume extends the coverage from the original set, which ended to 1995, to 1999--including biographies that were added to the online version. With over 400 new listings, revised indexes of occupations and realms of renown, and bibliographies after each entry, the supplement continues the ANB tradition of reminding us of the stories of people who have meant so much to this country.
