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:
[this book] is organized in nine chapters, each building upon the last, making it an excellent text for introducing the subject of primate pathogen biology to audiences coming from divergent backgrounds, but with a shared interest in the topic. I can attest to the success of this volume in this regard, having used it to lead a graduate seminar including participants from biological anthropology, epidemiology, ecology, and veterinary medicine.
