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:
'Brilliant, revelatory and erudite. Like all the best books it lets you see the familiar world in a new way' Mark Forsyth, author of The Etymologicon
'Enlightening' Steven Pinker
Hell is other people. You are what you eat. Ignorance is bliss. Or is it?
Meet Phrased & Confused, a guide to the great quotations that we just keep getting wrong. From ancient maxims like 'seize the day' to modern classics like 'the road less travelled', Phrased & Confused sets the record straight on commonly misunderstood sayings - and reveals the meanings of famously difficult ones, from 'I think therefore I am' to 'a rose is a rose is a rose'.
Pairing witty commentary with light-hearted illustration from Liana Finck, this is the ideal resource for lovers of language, literature, history and philosophy, full of intelligence and insight for curious minds everywhere.
