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 acclaimed anthology brings together the top people in their respective fields to discuss the impact that immigration has had on the character of New York City and also the cultural impact that coming to a new environment has had on immigrants. Thoroughly updated to encompass the newest waves of immigration, the book now covers Dominicans, former Soviets, Chinese, and Jamaicans as well as Mexicans, Koreans, and West Africans.
