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:
Clear, concise, and practical, Music Research: A Handbook, Third Edition, introduces students to the major print and online research tools available today.
MoreLong description:
Concise and practical, Music Research introduces students to the major print and electronic research tools available to them. This unique handbook does not aim to provide an exhaustive introduction to the subject; rather, it is highly selective and guides students to the most significant English-language research tools and resources, reference titles in major areas, and the principal sources in French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Now updated to reflect the growing emphasis on the digital humanities, this is the perfect guide for 21st century music scholars. The text is supplemented by a comprehensive Companion Website that includes supplement links, updates to available bibliographies and readings by chapter, research tools listed by composer, and lists of core music journals and major professional music associations.
I think Laurie Sampsel's Music Research fills a real need and is practically perfect. The book is well-organized, and the writing is clear. The contents are appropriate, just the right amount of material and relevant focus. The emphasis on evaluation rather than bibliography is more appropriate for the research tools available to students and researchers today.
