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.

"Oliver Cotte's excellent new book, Secrets of Oscar-winning Animation, offers a chance to revisit 13 of these eclectic Oscar-winning shorts, through in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes notes about the making of each mini masterpiece. Cotte does such a great job we kind of wish he had compiled a whole series of books about each and every animated short favored by old man Oscar." - Animation, September 2007
