Athens, Greece – Former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s book “Ithaca” has been an immediate and huge success, with Gutenberg Publishing House announcing today
that all 33,000 available copies of the book sold out within hours of its release.
The publishing house issued a statement expressing its happiness
and appreciation for this unprecedented response:
Tickets for Alexis Tsipras’s play ‘Ithaca’ sold out in just a few hours!
“We are pleased to announce that 33,000 copies of the book sold out
within the first few hours of its release.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to
our readers for their remarkable interaction and support!
Reprinting of “Ithaca” begins
The announcement confirmed that the publishing house immediately
began the process of reprinting to meet this enormous demand.
Gutenberg pledged to make “every effort possible to ensure
that there is no gap in book availability in libraries across the country in the coming days.”
However, the statement indicated the possibility of a slight delay
in availability due to “unprecedented demand”:
However, if, due to unprecedented demand, there is a slight
delay of one or two days in availability in some locations,
We ask for your patience and understanding in advance.
This great demand for Tsipras’s book reflects the continued
interest in his personality and political experience.
In particular, his time in power was marked by the Greek debt crisis
and arduous negotiations with European creditors.
