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:
This new critical edition of Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae is intended to replace the 1968 Oxford Classical Text by Peter K. Marshall. Based on a thorough reconsideration of the manuscripts, the indirect tradition, and the text, it proposes numerous emendations and in several places corrects the attribution of previous scholars' conjectures.
MoreLong description:
This new critical edition of Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae by Leofranc Holford-Strevens is intended to replace the previous Oxford Classical Text by Peter K. Marshall, published in 1968 but soon superseded by Marshall's own later discoveries as well as by other scholarship. Based on a thorough reconsideration of the manuscripts, of the indirect tradition, and of both the Latin and the Greek text, this new edition utilizes manuscript evidence unknown to previous editors, refines the standard account of relations between the earlier manuscripts, and distinguishes between readings in the later manuscripts derived from an older lost witness and those resulting from error or interpolation. All known witnesses to the indirect tradition as preserved in four florilegia have been examined, at times enabling readings less well supported by the manuscripts of the direct tradition to be restored. Above all, the approach to the transmitted text evinces a more sceptical, less trusting view than that of many recent editors: the apparatus criticus contains numerous emendations and suggestions, and in several places corrects the attribution of previous scholars' conjectures, yet remains more generous than Marshall's and avoids trivial details.
Did the world need a new critical edition of Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae just over half a century after P. K. Marshall published his Oxford Classical Text? Those who thought not are proven wrong by this magnificent edition by Leofranc Holford-Strevens ... He has produced not only the best edition of Gellius to date, but also a masterpiece of Latin textual scholarship ... His passion for the author, his deep knowledge of the text and his skill as a textual critic have helped to create a truly outstanding edition.
