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.

Design has long been a means of self-expression, but it is also a fundamental vehicle for change in an increasingly visual world. The Typography of Protest is an illustrated history of how famous designers and determined individuals have used art to dismantle hatred and ignite change.
The designers, groups and collectives featured in this book differ in age, race, gender and belief but all are resolute in confronting political and social injustice and inequality through their design and typography. From the bold feminist collages of Barbara Kruger to Emory Douglas?s defining posters for the Black Panther Party during the Civil Rights era and Keith Haring breaking the silence surrounding AIDS, to Guerrilla Girls exposing racial and sexual inequality in the art world, typography has long been a powerful tool for upsetting the status quo.
This thought-provoking book shines a light on the often revolutionary work of artists involved in a diverse range of social and political movements.
