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 Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC),
used in 200,000 libraries across 140 countries, has entered a new age,
primarily maintained today as a continuously revised electronic system rather
than an occasionally updated set of print volumes. Its editors have added newly
emerging topics and made it an
increasingly faceted, semantically rich, modern system. Simultaneously, the
editorial process has become democratised and more responsive to global needs.
A Handbook of History, Theory and
Practice of the Dewey Decimal Classification System
is a comprehensive, practical guide to today?s DDC. Coverage includes:
?
a brief history of the system,
its editors, and its development
?
specialized examinations of
specific parts of the classification
?
extensive guidance on number
building, with many examples
?
a WebDewey-specific chapter,
covering the system?s benefits and features
?
concise summaries of primary
takeaways, a glossary, and extensive bibliography.
This book will be an indispensable guide to
21st-century DDC, an essential companion for DDC classifiers, and
accessible for students and continuing learners as well.
