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:
In 1999, Rolf Jensen, world renowned futurist and trend spotter, published his influential book, The Dream Society. The book sold nearly 30,000 copies, was translated into 10 languages. Here?s what Library Journal had to say:
?Jensen, director of the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies, presents a riveting essay on the future demand for goods and services. He predicts that the present information-based society will evolve into a society that values the stories behind products and services. According to Jensen, these stories will fill the need for emotional wealth when material wealth has become commonplace. The demand for product stories will in turn increase the demand for imaginative storytellers who can artfully direct consumer emotions in a wealthy global culture where hard play replaces hard work. As wealth grows, so will the number of choices for consumer goods and emotional experiences. Jensen provides numerous current examples of an encroaching dream society, from paying premium prices for eggs from free-range chickens to the fantasy experience of video games. Well presented and organized, this is highly recommended.?
This updated edition will contain 40% new material including new case studies, new predictions, and new strategies. In the past, the consumer said: ?I am normal.?
?I will buy what?s standard.?
?It?s OK if my neighbors buy the same brand as me.?
Not any more! The new trend says ?I am special.?
?I want personalized products.?
The Dream Society consumer buys products designed to be unique. The consumer now says, ?I want the product to tell my story.?
Example: Build-a-Bear, the individualized teddy bears for children (and, increasingly, adults). The shift is from uniformity to diversity. Another example: microbreweries. In 1950 there were many big breweries. In 1995, there are a few, and there are more high-end micro-breweries. Now companies make the customer part of the company, as with www.tremor.com by P&G. Products are stories, experiences, dreams, and fantasies. Amazon.com has got more than 1000 items under the heading ?salt.?
This means smaller brands with better stories.
