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.

It is a practical self-help manual that shows singers how to take charge of their vocal health.

MoreLong description:
Many common vocal health problems may be successfully self-managed by singers. Even when a visit to the doctor is needed, an understanding of how the voice works, and, more importantly, when, and why it doesn't work, empowers the singer, and can make a medical visit more effective.
Written by two prominent laryngologists with many decades of experience in treating singers, Keep Your Singing Voice Healthy! is a practical self-help manual that shows all singers, from beginner students to seasoned professionals, how to take charge of their vocal health. The authors demystify medical terms, explain the anatomy and function of the vocal apparatus, and give simple advice on managing common health issues, dealing with doctors and medications, and maintaining good health--all from the singer's perspective.
This is the clearest explanation I have ever read of the basic mechanics and physiology of singing. The authors avoid any medical or scientific jargon, yet what they say checks out when read by someone who also knows that jargon. They put their extensive clinical experience at the service of the reader without ever claiming too much certainty and with constant respect for the variability of voices and circumstances. All the while, they don't try to make the book a substitute for a doctor or a voice teacher, a temptation not avoided by everyone who writes about these topics. Dr. Jahn and Dr. Cho are experts both musically and medically, and have the additional gift of writing in straightforward English, with a good sense of narrative and crystal-clear organization. Every singer should read what they have to say.
