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:
---------- --From the cannery rows of California to the sweatshops of New York, this
-------------- anthology of poems captures the drama of work and working-class life in
-------------- industrial America. It speaks of rolling mills, mine shafts, and foundries,
-------------- and of a people who dig coal, tap blast furnaces, sew shirts, clean fish,
-------------- and assemble cars. These subjects, though largely absent from literary
-------------- anthologies and textbooks, are increasingly evident in the work of contemporary
-------------- poets. Working Classics gathers the best and most representative
-------------- of these poems, American and Canadian, from 1945 to the present.
---------- Included are poems by Antler, Robert Bly, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Jim Daniels,
-------------- Patricia Dobler, Stephen Dunn, Tess Gallagher, Edward Hirsch, David Ignatow,
-------------- June Jordan, Lawrence Joseph, Philip Levine, Chris Llewellyn, Joyce Carol
-------------- Oates, Anthony Petrosky, Michael Ryan, Gary Soto, Tom Wayman, James Wright,
-------------- and many others. The result is a diverse and evocative collection of 169
-------------- poems by 74 poets, nearly a third of them women.
