    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:

    Would Queen Victoria have been good value over a pint? Where can you find the most northerly pub in the UK? Which pub was run by a member of the mafia?Britain is famed, above all else, for two things: a great literary tradition, and truly superb pubs. It should naturally follow that there are lots of great books about pubs, right? Wrong.

    Now, we are correcting that with this miscellany of the fascinating, the quirky, the exciting, the novel and the downright odd that you will want to sit down with a pint and dive in. Here you'll find stories, quirks, essays, deep-dives, listicles and more - everything but the pint - for you to immerse yourself in the wonderful, weird, funny and witty history of British pubs.

    Collected by The Fence, with contributions from the brilliant Tom Parker Bowles, William Hanson, John Banville, Róisín Lanigan, Clive Martin, Katy Hessel and many more.
