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.

Short description:
Unique in combining our knowledge of the clusters in our galaxy with new data on those in nearby galaxies, this monograph thoroughly covers the results from the past five years. Written by recognized leaders in the field, the result is a carefully authored book rather than a collection of papers.
