Five Million Copies of New Dan Brown Book Coming in September - mediabistro.com: GalleyCat: "After years of delay and anticipation, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group will release Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol' this September with an initial print run of five million copies.

The new novel is a follow-up to the 'The Da Vinci Code,' the bestselling adventure that sold 81 million copies worldwide. Brown's editor, Jason Kaufman, hinted at a 'new landscape' that could confirm GalleyCat senior editor Ron Hogan's suspicion that the book will focus on 2012, the much ballyhooed Mayan date for the end of the world."
