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:
The appearance of a book by W. Rindler is always good news even if it is the second edition of his well received textbook on Einstein's relativity theories ... Rindler's is an excellent book, best for relativists and (university) teachers, very good for advanced graduate students...
