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:
Robert Ashley, bibliophile, lawyer, and translator, amassed one of the largest personal libraries of the early modern period. Containing more than 6,000 titles, in 1641 it became the foundation of the library at Middle Temple, one of London-------s four Inns of Court. Ashley-------s library is notable for its extensive annotations, and unique items, including the only known copies of Albrecht Durer-------s sixteenth-century star maps and the first Belarusian language primer. Compiled by the current custodian of the library, this is the first comprehensive study of Ashley-------s library, and includes over 100 illustrations, and access to a full catalogue of it.
