"The Korean edition of If This is a Man is being met with great success. The first edition of 3000 copies – which is not a small press run from the point of view of Korean publishing culture – was immediately re-printed and as of now, seven months from the publication date, 9000 copies have been published. (On the other hand, The Periodic Table has not yet sold all 3000 copies of its first edition.)"
