Da Vinci Code: The Next Wave

In case anyone's missed it, next Tuesday, March 28, three years and 10 days after its hardcover publication, several paperback versions of The Da Vinci Code appear. The three new editions are:

  • Trade paperback: (Anchor, $14.95, 0307277674)
  • Mass market: (Anchor, $7.99, 1400079179)
  • Special illustrated paperback: (Broadway, $22.95, 076792603X)

The book has been getting enough renewed publicity because of the May 19 release of the movie, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks. As if that weren't enough, the plagiarism suit against Random House UK, which is concluding in London, has drawn even more attention to the somewhat reticent Brown.

Among related titles appearing next Tuesday:

  • The Da Vinci Code Travel Journal by Dan Brown (Clarkson Potter, $12.95, 0307345769). First stop, the High Court?
  • Fodors Guide to the Da Vinci Code: On the Trail of the Best Selling Novel (Fodor's Travel Publications, $14.95, 140001672X).

Coincidence? A title by one of the authors who have sued Random House UK is also coming out on Tuesday: it's the The Jesus Papers: Exposing the Greatest Cover-Up in History by Michael Baigent (HarperSanFrancisco, $27.95, 0060827130).
