'Taiwan Travelogue' won the 2026 International Booker Prize, leading to a supply shortage. Spring Hill Publishing has urgently printed 70,000 more copies, while 16,000 copies are being printed in the UK and 10,000 in Japan. Editor-in-Chief Chuang Jui-lin stated that total circulation has reached 110,000. Shipments will begin on the 28th. Online bookstores show the book as out of stock or available for pre-order, with the impact described as stronger than that of Han Kang's Nobel Prize win.
