Sales of New Dan Brown Book Hit Record High
Dan Brown's latest novel, "The Lost Symbol," broke sales records in Barnes and Noble and is listed as the No.1 best seller on Amazon in the first 24 hours of its release.
The first-day reports are in and it looks like Dan Brown, with his new book "The Lost Symbol," hasn't lost his touch. According to The New York Times, Barnes&Noble reported Tuesday that in the first 24 hours of its release, sales of "The Lost Symbol" hit a record high in the adult fiction category.
Dan Brown's new book features Robert Langdon, the professor who starred in the enormously successful "The DeVinci Code" as well as its predecessor, "Angels and Demons." The Robert Langdon novels have been a gold mine for publisher Knopf which printed five million copies of "The Lost Symbol" straight off the bat.
The numbers for "The Lost Symbol" from BookScan, representing 70 percent of all retail book sales, are expected next week.
