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:
The Classical Guitar Companion is a uniquely anthology that encourages students and teachers to create custom curricula for guitar study based on their own strengths and weaknesses.
MoreLong description:
The Classical Guitar Companion is an anthology of guitar exercises, etudes, and pieces organized according to technique or musical texture. Expert author Christopher Berg, a veteran guitar instructor, bring together perspectives as an active performing artist and as a teacher who has trained hundreds of guitarists to encourages students to work based on their own strengths and weaknesses.
The book opens with "Learning the Fingerboard," a large section devoted to establishing a thorough knowledge of the guitar fingerboard through a systematic and rigorous study of scales and fingerboard harmony, which will lead to ease and fluency in sight-reading and will reduce the time needed to learn a repertoire piece. The following sections "Scales and Scale Studies", "Repeated Notes", "Slurs", "Harmony", "Arpeggios", "Melody with Accompaniment", "Counterpoint" and "Florid or Virtuoso Études" each contain text and examples that connect material to fingering practices of composers and practice strategies to open a path to interpretive freedom in performance.
The Classical Guitar Companion will serve as a helpful companion for many years of guitar study.
Oftentimes a new guitar study is accompanied by fanfare proclaiming that a new technical discovery has been made, or some set of magical exercises promising virtuosity have been revealed for the first time. Christopher Berg's Classical Guitar Companion has done the reverse of this by showing that the answers have been in front of us the whole time, with examples spanning over 450 years of lute and guitar repertory.
