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:
In October 2008, after a San Francisco loss to Seattle, Vernon Davis was put on blast by Coach Mike Singletary in a fiery speech criticizing his 'me-myself-and-I attitude.' It proved to be the turning point in Davis's career, and the inspiration for him to change his mindset and his game plan, as well as his perspective on life and family. At the time, Davis was a young, talented player drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 2006 at number six, one of the highest drafted tight ends in NFL history. He played ten years for the 49ers, including a 2013 Super Bowl loss to the Baltimore Ravens in a 34-31 heartbreaker, where Davis recorded six catches for 104 yards. He later won a Super Bowl in 2016 with Peyton Manning and the Broncos, after nailing a crucial downfield block that sprung teammate C. J. Anderson for a key 34-yard run that helped the Broncos defeat the Carolina Panthers 24-10 for the ring. Davis retired in 2019 after four final years playing for his hometown team in Washington, DC. Here, he rewinds his real-life tape, from his youthful beginnings to the insights that came in the aftermath of Coach Singletary's press conference. Weaving personal reflections with real-world advice, Playing Ball is an eye-opening story of what winning - on the field and off - is all about.
