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.

Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025
'Thoroughly encapsulates the current state of the hurt business' Telegraph, Best Books of 2025&&&160;
For fifty years Donald McRae has followed boxing. As criminality and corruption spread, his love for the sport dimmed. In 2018, grieving his sister’s death and his parents’ illness, he turned back to boxing – just as Tyson Fury’s improbable resurrection proved the ring could still offer redemption.
McRae takes us close to champions including Fury, Canelo Álvarez, Katie Taylor and Oleksandr Usyk. He doesn’t shy away from exploring huge themes – doping, state repression, war – and he doesn’t flinch from recording the thudding hits or the heartbreak a fighter feels in defeat. And in telling the devastating story of Patrick Day, he confronts death in the ring.
The Last Bell is McRae’s most personal and unflinching book, a clear-eyed reckoning with life and the sport he can’t let go.
‘Exhilarating and terrifying’ Herald&&&160;
‘Boxing’s grim appeal is revisited by one of its finest chroniclers, alongside a more personal story of loss and grief. Drawn back into the fight game by Tyson Fury’s redemption story, McRae takes us ringside to some thrilling bouts. It’s full of tender insight, and thoroughly encapsulates the current state of the hurt business’ More
