The Da Vinci Code

Book Description

NY: Doubleday. (2003). The publishing sensation of the past decade -- a surprise bestseller that stayed on the hardcover bestseller lists for so long that its paperback publication was delayed by more than two years while the hardcover continued to sell, literally, millions of copies. A novel of a historical conspiracy involving the Catholic church, secret societies, and a cryptic code laid out by Leonardo da Vinci, the novel had unprecedented success -- not just for its author but for any work of fiction in recent years -- selling over 12 million copies in hardcover before the paperback edition was released in early 2006. Also the basis for a 2006 movie, which itself was a considerable commercial success. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket with a short tear at the upper rear spine fold. . First Edition. Hardcover.
