    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:

    From the author Trainspotting" comes Welshs first short-story collection since his debut work "The Acid House." In typically Welshian fashion the characters and settings in these five stories are anything but typical."Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting is up to his old tricks with his new work of transgressive short fiction. Irvine Welsh's first short-story collection since his debut work The Acid House" presents five extraordinary stories which remind us that he is a master of the short form a brilliant storyteller and-- unarguably-- one of today's funniest and most subversive writers. In "Rattlesnakes" three young Americans lost in the desert are accosted by two armed Mexicans. A Korean chef and a Chicago socialite find themselves connected through the disappearance of a pooch named Toto in "The D.O.G.S. of Lincoln Park." And in the title story Mickey Baker-- an ex-pat English bar owner living on the Costa Brava-- tries to keep all of his balls in the air: maintaining his barmaid's weight at the sexual maximum attending to the youthful Persephone and dodging his ex-wife and Spanish gangsters. In typically Welshian fashion the characters and settings are anything but typical. These stories will make you laugh and gasp."
