Cryptografreaks and booksellers, rejoice! Brown's newest novel, which covers a 12-hour period in the ever-puzzling life of Da Vinci Code protagonist Robert Langdon, hits shelves with an initial print run of 5 million. That's only half the run commanded by a Harry Potter sequel, but it should be enough to boost flagging spirits at Random House. The largest trade publisher in the world saw sales slip 6% last year, and it's hoping The Lost Symbol will mean found revenue. -- KR

Finally, it's there!
I'm axiously awaiting the German translation of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, dubbed "Das verlorene Symbol". The translation managed to climb at the #1 spot at the German Amazon preorder rank list.
