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.

Short description:
This volume combines two books; Karachi 1839-1947: A Short History of the Foundation and Growth of Karachi by Behram Sohrab H. J. Rustomji, and Karachi: That Was the Capital of Sindh by Sohrab K. H. Katrak, that provide an interesting and informative picture of Karachi as it once was. Both the authors wrote their respective histories of the city in the early years of Independence. Both authors trace the story of this fishing village-cum-trading post
from the time of its occupation by the British, with a population of a few tens of thousands, up to the year of the emergence of Pakistan, with the city of 400,000 as its capital. Aside from nostalgia, this book provides an insight into the 'love for Karachi' that motivated many of its early residents to contribute
selflessly to its growth and development.
