    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:

    Written specifically for researchers of all disciplines whose first language is not English, this guide presents easy-to-follow rules and tips, along with authentic examples taken from real emails, referees' reports and cover letters, will show you how to:

    • write effective emails (subject lines, structure, requests, level of formality)
    • review other people's manuscripts
    • reply effectively and constructively to referees' reports
    • correspond with editors
    • write letters regarding summer schools, internships, and PhD and postdoc programs
    • write reference letters

    This new edition contains over 40% new material, including stimulating factoids and discussion points both for self-study and in-class use, as well as suggestions for drafting proposals for research projects and writing research statements.

    EAP teachers will find this book to be a great source of tips for training students, and for providing both instructive and entertaining lessons.

    Other books in the series cover: writing research papers; presentations at international conferences; English grammar, usage and style; and interacting on campus; plus exercise books and a teacher's guide to the whole series.
