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.

MoreLong description:
In Windows: History, Repair and Conservation, readers are guided through the history, dating, development, care, repair and conservation of windows by authors who are experts in their fields. Each chapter covers a different aspect of the subject, from the dating of windows and their separate parts, through to surveying and engineering, recording and curation of historic windows, their ironmonger and surrounds.
As this book shows, windows vary in complexity and form, from the very simplest glazed openings to intricate medieval stained-glass masterpieces, combining the work of stone masons, smiths, woodworkers, glaziers and artists. This book traces the history of windows and provides guidance on their upkeep and conservation. It is thus an essential reference work for all those involved in care of historic buildings.
Windows: History, Repair and Conservation was the first major book devoted to the understanding of windows. This new revised edition brings the book up to date and provides additional chapters to provide a complete overview of the subject that will inform research and practice for years to come.
