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:
Getting By offers an integrated, critical account of the programs, rights, and legal protections that most directly affect poor and low-income people in the United States. Insufficient popular understanding about programs and legal protections has contributed to a widening gap between paper rights that exist on the books and actual benefits that people can enforce on the ground. A central goal of this volume is to empower individuals, groups, and communities to bridge this gap and, in doing so, to bridge gaps among those who are locked out of the American dream.
MoreLong description:
Getting By offers an integrated, critical account of the federal laws and programs that most directly affect poor and low-income people in the United States-the unemployed, the underemployed, and the low-wage employed, whether working in or outside the home.
The central aim is to provide a resource for individuals and groups trying to access benefits, secure rights and protections, and mobilize for economic justice.
The topics covered include cash assistance, employment and labor rights, food assistance, health care, education, consumer and banking law, housing assistance, rights in public places, access to justice, and voting rights.
This comprehensive volume is appropriate for law school and undergraduate courses, and is a vital resource for policy makers, journalists, and others interested in social welfare policy in the United States.
Getting By would be particularly useful for legal aid organizations, law firms advocating for low-income individuals (pro bono or otherwise), public law libraries, law school libraries, and anyone interested in helping or learning more about services for economically disadvantaged people. It is recommended as a worthwhile acquisition.
