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.

MoreLong description:
Clear, concise, practical, and up-to-date, Music Research: A Handbook, Fourth Edition, focuses on the three pillars of the graduate music bibliography course: research, writing, and citation. Drawing upon her lengthy experience teaching this class, author Laurie J. Sampsel has thoroughly updated her staple text. Part One introduces students to the major print and online research tools available today, while Part Two focuses on writing, approaches to assignments, and documentation. Each chapter includes new suggested readings and revised evaluation checklists. With a strong focus on the connection between research and writing, this comprehensive volume also advises the reader on topics such as avoiding plagiarism and using gender-neutral language. For the first time in this edition, student writing examples are included and discussed, and new sections have been added on using special collections and archives, finding online materials such as articles and eBooks, and navigating new challenges with Artificial Intelligence. Appendixes provide examples of citation of musical sources in the big three style manuals (Chicago, APA, and MLA), and a companion website provides updates and additional content.
Although intended primarily for use in graduate level courses, this book is also ideal for undergraduate students engaging in library research or writing research papers.
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
