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.

Long description:
In this book, Anthony Kirk-Greene, who served as a district officer in Nigeria for over a decade, draws upon personal memoirs, diaries, private and official papers, and his own experience, to paint a vivid picture of the service from his perspective. Symbol of Authority explores the socio-educational status of district officers, their recruitment and training, and what they did in both their work and leisure.
