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.

By the end of the book, students will have a sound understanding of the methods commonly used in book and publishing studies and will be able to confidently identify and select methods for their own research projects and dissertations.
