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:
An interdisciplinary study on design and visual culture in Pakistan, this book reflects social, commercial and geo-political changes influencing this region. It documents contemporary visual vernacular and provides an overview of the impact of diverse cultures assimilated over several millennia. A broad horizon of graphic expression is addressed: from architectural calligraphy to postage stamps, from steatite seals of the Indus Valley culture (4000 BC) and coinage to
Mughal manuscripts and cinema posters. Historic evidence is fused with contemporary expression, as well as 'fine arts' with 'applied arts'.
Over 30 contributions from leading experts are organized into five sections: Dekh Magar Pyar Se (Look, but with Love) consists of indigenous popular icons, a majority drawing heavily from religion and mythology. Read! covers typography depicted by the Urdu, Persian, Arabic and English languages and script. Be Pakistani, Buy Pakistani celebrates consumer culture providing critique of some of the local retail packaging. Pakistan Zindabad! (Long Live Pakistan!) offers insight into the construct of
a national graphic identity after its Independence in 1947. Pre-partition Perspective is structured chronologically and offers an illustrated history of the region.
It should be a sourcebook for designers, artists as well as students of communication and culture.
