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:
Every film or video shoot calls for at least two camera assistants. Camera assistants (or first and second ACs, as they're known) have the important job of maintaining the camera, readying it for use, troubleshooting (such as knowing what to do when a camera drops into the ocean), and preparing it for transport. The Camera Assistant's Manual teaches the complete workflow in easy-to-understand terms and does not assume prior knowledge. It is a must-have on the set for camera assistants and is loaded with reference material such as camera illustrations, forms, charts, checklists, and equations. Invaluable career advice rounds out the book.
· New companion website with extensive forms, charts, and illustrations to print out and use
· Completely updated with information on digital video and high definition cameras that are changing the camera assistant's job
· Career tips and complete job descriptions help camera assistants get and succeed at jobs
· Companion website: www.cameraassistantmanual.com
· Author's site: www.davidelkins.com
"David Elkins, SOC does it again. In this latest edition David covers all of the latest cameras and accessories that have been invented since the last edition. This is truly the "Bible" for seasoned camera assistants, and an indespensible tool for all veteran and student film makers."
- Stan McClain, SOC (Past President) Filmtools-President
"Absolutely everything you need to know as first or second camera assistant is here, of course and all the reference tables, film can labels and camera department reporting forms you are ever likely to see or need are here - along with an associated website that holds even more...The Camera Assistant's Manual is an essential in the ditty bag as gaffer tape and as useful to the DoP's as it is to camera assistants. It makes for a first class learning tool between assignments and my advice to camera assistants is, keep it covered when on the set. There's a whole camera department around you who will want to borrow it." - www.dvuser.co.uk
The text is supplemented with illustrations that convey Elkins' ideas, and the clarity with which he lays out the chronology of a film shoot is impressive - years of working and teaching have clearly allowed the author to hone his approach with military precision, and it's hard to think of any assistant armed with the book's checklists coming across a problem he or she would be unable to solve. -Jim Hemphill, American Cinematographer Magazine
