By Motoko Rich Associated Press Dan Brown
This is the kind of news the publishing industry has been waiting for.
In its first day on sale, The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown sold more than 1 million copies in hardcover and e-book versions in the United States, Britain and Canada, according to the publisher, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. The publisher said it had fired up the presses again and printed an additional 600,000 hardcover copies to add to the 5 million already in print.
On Tuesday, Barnes & Noble and Amazon said that “The Lost Symbol,” Mr. Brown’s first book since his worldwide phenomenon, “The Da Vinci Code,” set records for the best-selling adult fiction title on the first day of sale. BN.com, Amazon and Sony all said that e-book versions of “The Lost Symbol” went straight to No. 1 on their electronic best-seller lists, although all declined to say how many units were sold. A spokeswoman for Knopf Doubleday said the company did not break out e-book downloads specifically.
