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:
'Frame by frame, vertebra by vertebra, a book is built on the editing table.' - Dayanita Singh
In the early 1980s, her very first camera in hand, Dayanita Singh travelled throughout India for six winters with the tabla maestro Zakir Hussain. At his side, she had the privilege of photographing several great classical musicians, creating an extensive image archive of them on stage and backstage, in their homes and on the faithful bus which brought them from concert to concert. When the time came for Singh to edit her work into a book, she chose to focus on the tanpura, a long-necked, four-stringed drone instrument which evokes and supports a musicians voice, both during performance and the process of daily practice riyaz. Museum of Tanpura celebrates the tanpura as a musicians constant companion, the environments and relationships which bring music into being, and embodies what Singh sees as her greatest learning from all the performers she befriendedthe rigor and aesthetics of riyaz.
