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.

Art History: A Very Short Introduction by Dana Arnold
ISBN-10: 0-19-280181-3/ ISBN-13: 978-0-19-280181-4
This clear and concise new introduction examines all the major debates and issues using a wide range of well-known examples. It discusses the challenge of using verbal and written language to analyse a visual form. Dana Arnold also examines the many different ways of writing about art, and the changing boundaries of the subject of art history.
Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction by Geraldine A. Johnson
ISBN-10: 0-19-280354-9/ ISBN-13: 978-0-19-280354-2
Botticelli, Holbein, Leonardo, Dürer, Michelangelo: the names are familiar, as are the works, such as the Last Supper fresco, or the monumental marble statue of David. But who were these artists, why did they produce such memorable images, and how would their original beholders have viewed these objects?
Modern Art: A Very Short Introduction by David Cottington
ISBN-10: 0-19-280364-6/ ISBN-13: 978-0-19-280364-1
As public interest in modern art continues to grow, as witnessed by the spectacular success of Tate Modern and the Bilbao Guggenheim, this much-needed, accessible introduction grapples clearly and provocatively with the complex idea of modern art.
Architecture: A Very Short Introduction by Andrew Ballantyne
ISBN-10: 0-19-280179-1/ ISBN-13: 978-0-19-280179-1
'a densely fascinating guide' Steven Poole, The Guardian Review
This highly original and sophisticated look at architecture helps us to understand the cultural significance of the buildings that surround us. It avoids the traditional style-spotting approach in favour of giving an idea of what it is about buildings that moves us, and what it is that makes them important artistically and culturally.
Design: A Very Short Introduction by John Heskett
ISBN-10: 0-19-285446-1/ ISBN-13: 978-0-19-285446-9
'This is the best book I have read about the design process and is based on the belief that design matters profoundly to us all in innumerable ways.' Terence Conran
John Heskett wants to transform the way we think about design by showing how integral it is to our daily lives, from the spoon we use to eat our breakfast cereal, and the car we drive to work in, to the medical equipment used to save lives. Design combines 'need' and 'desire' in the form of a practical object that can also reflect the user's identity and aspirations through its form and decoration.
