    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:

    "Having known little more than his name prior to reading this book, I am now acquainted with a flawed character of considerable intellect who experienced monumental difficulty coming to terms with events around him. This biography, comprising chess history, social and economic history and political history is a fitting tribute to his life." - YorkshireChess website, October 2015

    "While never a professional chessplayer and now little known, Arthur Kaufmann nonetheless made significant contributions to the game." - The Caissa Kid
