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.

...he not only provides an admirably readable translation of this 'forbidding and unattractive' text, densely littered with technicalities, but adds some eighty pages of illustrations with fresh translations of Libanius, Lucian, Sopater, Syrianus and Aelius Aristides. Dr Heath has gone to enormous pains to give readers every possible help in approaching this extremely specialised treatise on the matters 'at issue' in the court rooms of the second century AD...it provides a lucid account of some rather recondite material. The Clarendon Press is certainly doing its bit for rhetoric.
