    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:

    Founded by brothers Charles and Herbert Hatch in 1879, Hatch Show Print is one of the oldest working letterpress poster and design shops in America. Throughout its long history, the shop has produced vibrant posters that served as a leading advertising medium for southern entertainment.

    Today, Hatch Show Print creates posters the same way they were made 140 years ago. More than a century after the shop’s beginnings, its staff continues to create new and vibrant posters, perpetuating and celebrating an American style of graphic design that holds great appeal for twenty-first century audiences.

    Richly Illustrated with more than 300 photographs of historic posters printed throughout the shop’s history, this book examines Hatch Show Print’s relationship to and interaction with Nashville’s music industry. Readers will enjoy the book’s generous selection of images of history posters, carved wood and linoleum blocks, and rare photographs.
