    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.

    "Starks presents a persuasive argument that with the right amount of citizen awareness and political management, there is clear opportunity to create a new and better order of television." - Gregory Taylor, International Journal of Digital Television

    "The Digital Television Revolution is at its most valuable in the clarity of its historical account: the careful selection of detail and the analysis of the meaning of every twist and turn of digital history's early development..." - Michael Allen, Critical Studies in Television
