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.

Short description:
In this volume, twelve scholars focus on the challenges of preserving and editing the writings of a leading but deceased religious figure. The authors examine editorial authority and overreach, noncompliance with scholarly standards, and untransparent editorial changes that have arisen in the books of the Indian master, Swami Prabhup?da.
MoreLong description:
Posthumous Editing of a Great Master's Work: Special Focus on the Writings of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup?da examines how a leading figure's hallowed written and published works, which remain so important to the religious community, should be editorially treated following the leader's departure from this world. The volume addresses the theological, ethical, social, and legal implications of posthumous editing?and even improving?a great master's works.
This book focuses on the extensive posthumous editing of the works of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup?da, the original world-teacher of Krishna bhakti of the twentieth century. After Swami Prabhup?da departed from this world, some of his disciples, without the expressed approval of the author, attempted to improve on his authorized published work, which resulted in the publication of a continuing series of inauthentic altered editions. This extreme editing of Swami Prabhup?da's works precipitated the scholarly research and inquiry into the posthumous editing of a great master's work that forms the basis of this book.
