    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.

    From the markets of medieval Europe to the slaughterhouses of twentieth-century Chicago, Madeleine Ferrieres offers a colorful and insightful history of how we've decided what not to eat. Ferrieres explores panics, myths, and changing attitudes regarding food as well as various attempts throughout history to ensure food safety.
