정말 의외로군!

The first edition of ‘The War for Palestine’ was published by Cambridge University Press in 2001. The success of this book surpassed all our expectations. It received considerable critical acclaim; it sold over 8,000 copies; and it was translated into three languages – Arabic, French, and Italian.

8,000부 판매한 것이 예상을 뛰어넘는 성공이라니. 영어권의 학술서적 시장이 저 정도 규모밖에 되지 않는다는 점이 놀랍다.
