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.

"A welcome addition to the available print indexes to song collections. Libraries of all types will want to acquire a copy and benefit from the breadth and depth of indexing done by the Pratt Library's staff for nearly a century. The broad range of collections indexed make it an essential purchase." -- ane Gottlieb, Head Librarian, The Juilliard School
"Anyone who has ever worked in a public library knows the frustration of trying to fill the enormous demand on the part of the public for songs.
