why Pamuk + numbers

[pynchonoid]

While the choice is in line with many of the Nobel
committee's recent winners (the past two years'
literary prizes have gone to writers who were also
conflict in their own governments), Academy head
Horace Engdahl said Pamuk was selected not for
political reasons, but because he had "enlarged the
roots of the contemporary novel" through his links to
both Western and Eastern culture.
....Senior v-p of publicity Paul Bogaards said the
house is going back to press on all three of Pamuk's
books it has published in hardcover (reprinting 10,000
copies each of My Name Is Red and Snow, and 2,500
copies of Istanbul). Vintage is also reprinting much
of Pamuk's backlist in paperback, producing 175,000
copies of the six titles combined (including 100,000
of Snow).
