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:
Originally published in 1958, through a series of lively biographies of men important in the history of printing – Gutenberg, Caxton, Baskerville, Caslon, Senefelder, Koenig, Mergenthaler, and Lanston – Pioneers in Printing traces the growth and development of the craft of printing from its invention in the fifteenth century to modern times. The aim of the book is not to recount the technicalities of machinery, but rather to present each character as a living man engrossed in his ideas and pursuing them persistently, in conflict or in agreement with his period. The book is written in a clear and easy style, free of technical terms.
