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.

"A powerful and important picture of how mega law firms distort justice."-David Cay Johnston, Washington Post
The NYT's Business Investigations Editor reveals the dark side of American law: Delivering a "devastating" (Carol Leonnig) exposé of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded by the world's largest law firms, David Enrich traces how one firm shielded opioid makers, gun companies, big tobacco, Russian oligarchs, Fox News, the Catholic Church, and much of the Fortune 500; helped Donald Trump get elected, govern, and evade investigation; masterminded the conservative remaking of the courts . . . and make a killing along the way.
In his acclaimed
"Astonishing. ... A powerful and important picture of how mega law firms distort justice." - Washington Post
"Servants of the Damned is a feat of thoughtful, detailed research, rendering with clarity and even compassion the moral drift of 'big law.' As an attorney, I found it illuminating-but this is important reading for anyone concerned about law and policy." - Ronan Farrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Catch and Kill
"This fascinating book is somehow both devastating and rollicking all at the same time. Enrich brings us into the room to watch how a modest law firm built on honorable service gradually becomes an uber-shield for the worst of American greed and abuse-all in the quest for enormous billable profits and outsized power. From handling a fatal gas explosion to terrorizing a tobacco whistleblower to aiding Donald Trump, it's all in here." - Carol Leonnig, Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of A Very Stable Genius and author of Zero Fail
"A deep dive into the law firm that became one of the key institutions in the president's orbit. ... Jones Day lawyers figured prominently in Trump's rise to power and his exercise of it. Enrich treats the relationship as a sign of a broader decline in ethical standards at big American law firms." - Financial Times
"A withering study of how big law got into bed with the 45th president. ... Informative and disturbing." - The Guardian
"A fast-moving, damning book. ... Essential reading for students of the Trump corruption machine." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A vivid, crackling account of the law at its most bullying. Readers will be outraged." - Publishers Weekly
"Enrich's stories provide a disturbing window into how the rules underpinning democracy have been weaponised by those meant to protect it." - New Statesman
"Enrich tells an important story of the gradual corruption of the rule of law, and of the broader corruption of our society." - American Prospect
