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.

MoreLong description:
The Oxford Handbook of the History of the Book in Early Modern England provides a rich, imaginative and also accessible guide to the latest research in one of the most exciting areas of early modern studies. Written by scholars working at the cutting-edge of the subject, from the UK and North America, the volume considers the production, reception, circulation, consumption, destruction, loss, modification, recycling, and conservation of books from different disciplinary perspectives.
Each chapter discusses in a lively manner the nature and role of the book in early modern England, as well as offering critical insights on how we talk about the history of the book. On finishing the Handbook, the reader will not only know much more about the early modern book, but will also have a strong sense of how and why the book as an object has been studied, and the scope for the development of the field.
...an outstanding selection of thirty-seven essays... a mix of major thematic pieces and some carefully-considered case studies that reflect on broader subjects. The four parts of the Handbook (Approaching the History of the Book; Making Books; Moving Books; Using Books) work superbly well ...the originality of this volume and its curation means that it will appeal as much to experts as to those learning about English book culture for the first time. ...a treasure trove of scholarship that can be returned to successively for new and inspirational insights.
