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.

MoreLong description:
Originally published in 1947, this book, the third of the series, deals with hockey coaching and practice in schools. It was produced in a School, and once again the action photographs are of boys who were at that time in the School Team. The author had considerable experience in the coaching of school hockey.
The book opens with descriptions of the basic arts: hitting, gathering, dribbling, tackling etc., required of all players, after which the play and tactics of each position on the field are analysed. A specially interesting chapter is that on team tactics and positional play, and this chapter is illustrated by some excellent photographs of a tactical table, in which the dispositions in various situations are diagrammatically set out. Other chapters deal with captaincy, coaching, school organization, how to watch a match, and some explanatory comments on the rules of the game.
The book is illustrated by many magnificent action photographs.
While this book was primarily for schools, the instructional detail and the attractiveness of the photographs would also have appealed to more mature hockey players. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.
Review for the original edition:
?This book deals most completely with the game from the point of view of coach, player, captain and spectator.? ? Manchester Guardian
