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:
‘He is, as Proust was before him, the great chronicler of his culture in his time.’ Guardian
‘One of the greatest pleasures of my reading life.’ Michael Palin
‘A unique joy to read.’ Sunday Times
‘A Dance to the Music of Time’ is universally acknowledged as one of the great works of English literature. Now in the first volume’s 75th anniversary year, this twelve-volume series is ready to delight and entrance a new generation of readers.
In this third volume, determined to make a name for himself, Nick Jenkins starts working for a publisher, establishing connections across the London literary scene. But whilst Nick is ready to move forwards with his new life, the past is never far behind.
A weekend away with his friend Templer sees a surprise reunion quickly blossom into an affair, while an Old Boys dinner at the Ritz in honour of their old housemaster, Le Bas, reunites Nick with his old schoolmates Stringham and Widmerpool. Set against the backdrop of 1930s London, The Acceptance World lays bare the complicated nature of young love.
