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:
The fascinating true story of how legendary gambler Barney Curley pulled off the greatest betting scams in horse-racing history.
‘Calls to mind The Italian Job.’ Independent on Sunday The bookies always win.
But one man has been proving them wrong for four decades.
In the summer of 1975 Barney Curley, a fearless and renowned gambler, masterminded one of the most spectacular gambles of all time with a racehorse called Yellow Sam. It cost the bookmakers millions of pounds.
They said that it could never happen again.
But in May 2010, thirty-five years after his first coup, Curley staged the ultimate multi-million-pound-winning sequel.
The Sure Thing tells the complete story of how he managed to organise the biggest gamble in racing history - and how he then followed up with yet another audacious scheme.
