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:
Now including full coverage of the NC500, SWC300 and NE250.
Forget the jet set. Come back down to earth. There is another way to travel, see the world and truly be a part of it.
Taking the slow road is about turning your back on the fast lane to make time for people, places and nature. Stopping to take a breath. Stopping to let the planet take a breath too. And the best way to do it? In your own home from home, of course - the humble camper van or motorhome.
This book is about the very best driving routes around Scotland. But there's more to it than that. It's about the best places to stay, things to do and places to see and why it's vital that we experience it truly, madly, responsibly. Come with us as we meander around the Highlands, Lowlands and Islands of Scotland. Everyone will find something between the pages to start writing their own stories in Scotland.
You don't even have to own a camper van or motorhome - full listings of camper and motorhome hire companies in Scotland are here too.
This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and expanded and now contains full coverage of the new 'official' routes, including the NC500, the SWC300 and the NE250.
Inside lie adventure, beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from serial camper van traveller, Martin Dorey. Flick through the pages and travel with him to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!
