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.

The book is the first ever attempt to narrate the Chola Navigation mode, as it was popularly known among medieval seaman, especially the Arabs, Omanis, and the Chinese. It highlights the expertise of Tamil seamen in celestial navigation and parallel sailing.
