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 premise of the book is very timely and appropriate. The epidemic of medical errors has finally been well established and well publicized. Future efforts need to be devoted to improving healthcare, and this handbook covers salient points. There is an impressive array of contributors handling a broad spectrum of topics. The list of topics is extensive without any major deficiencies. This volume should make a substantial contribution to the field."
- Harvey Murff, M.D., M.P.H., Center for Health Services Research, Vanderbilt University
"The key feature is that it is comprehensive. The volume may be thick, but it can be a one-step shopping for those who would want to find information for human factors related to patient safety and quality. I am not aware of any other sources that come close to this goal."
